With the latest 1.1.0/1.1.1 firmware release of Deco BE85/BE65/BE63/BE11000, The historically highly-requested feature- Channel Selection has now been implemented. It allows users to manually choose the Wi-Fi channel/channel Width for the Main WiFi Network(2.4GHz& 5GHz), providing greater control over network performance in high-interference environments.
How to Configure wireless Channel Selection?
Go to Deco APP> Wi-Fi Settings, and Select 2.4GHz & 5GHz Wireless Network. You will find the option to adjust the channel and channel width settings under the Advanced section.
Furthermore, an extra feature- Wireless Network Mode is also added to further improve the overall Mesh Performance.
Optimal Performance- All Deco units will enable the 2.4GHz backhaul and use the same 2.4GHz channel to maximize the wireless backhaul connection speed, then improve the overall network bandwidth.
High Capacity- The Deco system will disable the 2.4G backhaul and All Deco units use different 2.4GHz channels. This mode will improve the 2.4GHz wireless capacity and accommodate more 2GHz clients.
So if you have plenty of 2GHz smart home devices, it is recommended to use the High Capacity mode.
We welcome your feedback on any issues you may have encountered or if you have suggestions for optimizing these two features. Your input will greatly assist in enhancing and expediting the implementation of similar features on other Deco models. Feel free to share your thoughts below!
