Change wifi channel on Deco M9
Hi,
I´ve setup an Deco M9 system with 3pcs of nodes. Now I see in my home when I scan for other wifi devices that all of them is in the same range of wifi channels.
( Alarm system, Camera system and so on.. )
I would like to change the wifi channel on the Deco system to 8 or higher because they are free.
I cant find any way to do this in the Deco app.. Where can I do this?
Best Regards
Rickard

@BozMoz I recently got a set of 3 of M5s from US from a friend but I'm now in Pakistan so I can't even see the 5Ghz band because the channels are coded according to the region lol. If they allowed me to switch channels manually (i don't mind staying in the legally allowed channels of US) then I would get 5Ghz. So I literally have a $180 Wireless N Mesh system right now.

@risa2000 I have the identical issues with M4R:
1) The 3 mesh units seem to use the busiest channel in the neighborhood, so not choosing the best channel.
2) All three units use the same channel.
3) There is no way to set the channel.
When you address these related issues, please include the M4 in your updates.

Just installed my new M9 Plus devices, I am genuinly in shock I cannot choose my own WiFi channels. This is comically absurd. This has cost over £200 and I cannot perform one of the most basic functions you can do on ISP routers (that are free!!!!).
For clarity, I live in a home with only 2 other houses near, the apparently 'smart' deco hubs have chosen EXACTLY the same WiFi channels as both our neighbours.
Garbage. These will be going to Amazon in the next week with a very public review stating the basic shortfalls of the admin/management system (app).
So frustrating as this is my first Mesh system and I've been impressed with the signal strength (aside from the contention and dropouts battling the neighbours!)
Reading previous posts how has this possibly not been sorted in the last 12 months?!?!

@CombatsheeI am yet another user who has just bought the M5s, and have no way of changing the wifi channel. I'm shocked! Thank goodness Sonos provides this feature, but my wifi is automatically set to the busiest channel here!! It is not good enough, I thought I was upgrading to a better system, apparently not.

It seems my Deco P7 also prefers the busiest channel. And all 5 Deco P7 units are on the same channel as well. Shouldn't that spread out a little?

@Combatsheep it seems there is a firmware Update on the way. See post 2 weeks ago
