The Gateway > Connection > Wi-Fi page will appear. NOTE: When changing the Wi-Fi channel, the connected Wi-Fi clients will temporarily disconnect and lose internet connection but will automatically reconnect. NOTE: The standard bandwidth for the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network is 20 MHz.

Leave the default setting of 20 MHz on the Channel Bandwidth field to increase the amount of data that the Wi-Fi network can carry.

Other Wi-Fi channels overlap and degrade performance. NOTE 2: When choosing to manually set the Wi-Fi channel, it is recommended to set the channel to 1, 6 or 11 for better performance and stability because they do not overlap. Keep in mind that the connected Wi-Fi clients temporary lose Internet connection when the SVG2482AC is restarting. The best Wi-Fi channel will be selected upon restart. NOTE 1: It is recommended to leave the Channel Selection at Automatic and restart the SVG2482AC.

Select a channel from the Channel drop-down menu other than what is displayed.

This document describes how to change the Wi-Fi channel for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz radios. By default, the Wi-Fi Channel for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are set at Auto. The tool is used for identifying the least used Wi-Fi channel and determine the best available WiFi channel to select. The Wi-Fi Spectrum Analyzer tool (located in the SVG2482AC Web Manager) scans nearby access points and occupied Wi-Fi channels. To reduce or eliminate wireless interference, it may be necessary to change the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi channel in the SVG2482AC being used by the affected Wi-Fi clients. One variable may include other Wireless Access Points within the surrounding area using the same wireless channel.

When using a wireless connection, interference may occur.
