Deco stuck on 5GHz Channel 36
Deco stuck on 5GHz Channel 36
Hi picked up a 2 pack of Deco M5s to replace a faulty C3150 on Monday,
I have noticed that the 5GHz WiFi pernamently locked to channel 36.
I understand there is no setting for this, but here is the problem.
There are 3 other networks also running on channel 36 around me and i know to set my routers to channel 100 or 149 to get lower wifi latency and much better speed.
Even after resetting and rebooting the decos multiple times and placing 2 other routers right next to the unit that were locked the channel 36, simply will not budge.
Any help? i think it mght be time to introduce 5Ghz channel selection on the Decos...

@Alexandre. The network optimisation has zero effect on 5Ghz side of things AFAICT
My Deco WiFi 5GHz channel changed from 48 to 44 some time in last three months. WiFi 2.4Ghz was on channel 4, now on channel 8.
I can reassure you channel 36 is not hardcoded into Deco mesh, and I know for a fact Deco mesh can and does change 5GHz channel it broadcasts on. If not after running Network Optimization, then after Main Deco reboot: I only had these two activities on my Deco mesh in more than 6 months.
