@Antgo @chong.9999. 

Hi, Deco does not support changing wireless channels yet.

For the detailed reason, please refer to this link: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/154561?replyId=493338

As for The beta firmware, it is for Bangladesh users only since band 1(channel 36-48) for 5ghz is prohibited here and only band 4(channel 149-165) is allowed;

 So if there are no specific issues, like slow speed or network instability, some IOT devices not able to connect, please do not worry about the current channels;

While if there is, please try to provide more details about your current problem and we will check whether it is channel-related and  if there are any other suggestions to fix the current issue;

Thank you very much.

@TP-Link 
I have bought and recommended plenty of there devices in the USA and have worked fine. I am in a small apartment in Colombia for the next few monts and it is WIFI overload with 60 devices in my WIFI list. 
I pay for 120Mbps and from LAN connection it is fast but not from Wifi I get 2.3Mbps on 2.4 and on 5ghz I get 7-9. Everyone is on the same 2 channels. 
Also unlike the USA they don't have good return policies unless the device is broken from the factory.  So I am stuck with slow WIFI or buy another device. 
 

Maybe there is a different way for the developers to see the issue I would not mind sending any data captures that might help resolve this issue.

@TP-Link Honestly I do not understand the reason for your secretism, the reality is that I adquired a dual band mesh system base on X20 wify 6 and only conect to a congested channel 36.

 

the result 

 

 

in a 1Gb fiber channel connection.

 

Fortunately in Spain there is a Guarranty concept so I'll return the units and will never recommend TP-link, I cannot recommend a product that is 20 times worst than spected.

 

Regards,

@TP-Link I recently upgraded to TP-Link X20. I am from Bangladesh. Since band 1 (channel 36-48) for 5ghz is prohibited here and only band 4 (channel 149-165) is allowed, I need a solution for it.

@vikrams 

 

Hi, can we confirm how did you verify the disconnect issue was caused by the channel? Is there any testing method? 

 

If the MS Teams Calls are not working properly, kindly check the suggestions we provided here first:

Hi TP Link. I am from Malaysia and currently subscribing to 300mbps and having 4 Deco M4 in my house. 2 unit ground floor and 2 units 1st floor. The fact is that, 1st floor tends to connect to 5ghz when starting up a PC however after some time, it will turns to 2.4ghz which slows down almost everything. Gaming ping increased, intermittent lost of connections and packet loss. What else can be done? i'm staying in a double story house roughly 1600sqft. Please enlighten me as i have read through all comments and yet couldn't found an answers to my problems. Secondly, i tried on wifi analyzer and saw that almost 95% of users are camping on the same channels. How can i go around with it? Seriously, i need an advise badly. its 4 units of Deco M4. Thanks in advance! Andy

@TP-Link seriously, 2021 and we can't change the wifi-channel manually? The system does NOT pick the best channel automatically, it's just set on a certain one and is "happy" with it. The channel change is in even the most cheap crap boxes today. I think I'll just return these and buy a pair from a manufacturer that actually listens to their customers.

@Saurabh_S 

Absolutely agree, I bought the mesh solution to solve coverage/interference problem for my home.

And without being able to change the channel it is a dumb box.

TP-Link support, you guys really need to rethink your approach on this.
