Hi, currently, it is not supported to manually change the wireless channel on the Deco units;
As for the firmware that would change the 5ghz from band 1 to band4, it is because, in some places like Bangladesh, the local network devices only support band 4;
For the Australia version, most of the network devices are band 1 only, and if the Deco is on band 4, it is very likely some devices would fail to detect the wireless network of Deco;
Thank you very much.

even I am facing same problem , I want to change the channel to 156 or 157 which seems empty .... 44 is too occupied and I see to see a hidden network using exactly the Same channel as that on a deco ... on a WiFi analyser...

Generally, if you notice that your Deco Wi-Fi network is sharing a channel with several other networks, don’t worry. Crowded isn’t the same as busy, even though some channel scanning apps tell you one specific channel is busy, they don’t always measure other sources of congestion and interference. Non-Wi-Fi signals (like those from microwaves, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, garage door openers, baby monitors, etc.) can all congest a channel but may not show up in a scan. So it’s possible that a channel can appear empty, while it is, in fact, saturated with other kinds of interference.
If your Deco Wi-Fi network is using a crowded channel but you aren’t experiencing slow speeds, don't worry. Your point is always scanning its environment to choose the channel that is most likely to give you the best Wi-Fi.
However, if your speed is affected a lot, you may refer to the below troubleshooting suggestions first to check and modify the basic settings on your network:

BTW, you may try to enable the 2.4G only for the guest network and enable 5G for the main to give it a go, then monitor the performance, which may be a good try.
