This Article Applies to:
Deco BE85_1.1.1 Supports WireGuard VPN,Channel Selection and Matter
Deco BE65_V2_1.1.0 Supports WireGuard VPN, Channel Selection and More
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!

@David-TP I forgot to ask, will these settings work if my Deco units are setup in AP mode? This is the only way I can utilize the 2.5Gb connection on my two XE75Pro units. It looks like the channel optimization is using channels 1, 6, or 11 for the 2.4GHz band which is a good sign. However, I noticed that only one AP is utilizing channel 6, while the others are on overlapping channels 2 and 10. The channel width is set to 20MHz automatically for the AP's on channel 6 and 10, but the one on channel 2 remains on 40MHz.

@David-TP Hey, could I get the firmware for the XE75 and the XE75 Pro please?
I'm having some issues with the 40mhz 2.4Ghz channel width, a lot of IoT devices and 130 Zigbee devices that conflict with Channel 1.

Hi, thank you very much for the message.
I'm afraid there hasn't been a beta firmware for Deco XE75/XE75 Pro_V3 that supports manually selecting the channel/channel width.
But there is a beta firmware that allows Deco units to automatically use non-overlapping channels for mobile clients.
You can find the beta firmware versions in the Inbox message.
The beta firmware could revert to the official version directly via the web UI.
Best regards.
