My first time here... Can anyone here please tell me how to go about changing my 5Ghz channel. My MacBook connects fine to the Deco 5Ghz band-- where my Samsung galaxy A31does not and the phone Wi-Fi standard clearly says Wi-Fi 5 compatible - (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac)... Did a little digging into this issue find out that for Samsung to connect to the Deco WiFi 5 my channel needs to be say above120 and am only seeing 48 on my Deco stats. Any available work around for me?

  @Heidi_Alp It's only routes I think one can download firmware by region if my memory serves me correctly cos I upgraded from a Dlink router to the mesh where I think I saw that. I took time to go through others request here with the same problem and tp-link seem to say there's no way to change Channel on the mesh maybe in the future and I saw questions going way back two years... so that future is no where near

  @Dlaw-Deco_XE75 You need to change/update the firmware.

 

Contact your seller

  @Dlaw-Deco_XE75 Then contact your seller, since changing of 5 ghz bands cannot be done manually

  @Dlaw-Deco_XE75 

Do you have the EU or US version? I googled and it said the EU version did not allow band 4(channel 149-165). And Band 1(36-48) is widely used and it's weird Samsung does not support it. How about the wireless regulation in your country? I have seen they provided beta firmware to Bangladesh users since they only allowed band 4 on 5ghz.
