Accepted Possibility to change WiFi channels
There should be a way to change WiFi channel, or at least the system should change it by itself, choosing the least saturated one. For 2.4GHz it is clear that it will be almost impossible to select a free channel, but on the 5GHz I only see other 2 networks and we are all in the same channel! For at least one the reason may be that our neighboor is using a TP-Link product as well.
I think this is a very basic configuration in any WiFi device, which I would have never though was not going to be possible before buying it.

Update:
Please refer to this link to check whether your Deco supports changing channel and channel width:

If your model is not on the applied list, feel free to leave a comment with your Deco model number.🤝🤝🤝

@David-TP Please make this feature also available for the Deco XE75. Thanks!

@David-TP so based on the screenshot below, that means it is not available for my network which contains four M5 Decos? Assuming that's correct, that leads me to two obvious questions: 1.) When will TP-Link add M5 channel changing capability and 2.) if I were to change the main Deco to be a BE85 (used in the example instructions you linked to), would that then make it so I could change the channel on the whole network?

@David-TP unfortunately, this is not available on my Deco X60 or Deco M5 :-(
In "Advanced", I can only select Security, Band and Hide Network.

@David-TP Thanks for sharing. That is exactly what we want. It´d be good to know which equipment supports this before buying.

Thank you for all your comments.
I'm not sure when the channel selection will be added to certain models. However, knowing the exact number of models affected would be valuable for our senior engineer to develop a plan
By the way, as long as the main Deco supports Channel Selection, there will be an entry on the Deco App.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards.

Considering how long this thread is, I would say that this feature is required by all the models you've shipped.
I have a kit of P7 decos that would also benefit from this possibility, as I am always in the most congested channel.

@David-TP Would it be possible for the PX-50 to have this feature too?
