Channel change to crowded channels for apparently no reason.

The logic on this is confusing.

Hi, @Chevelle

Thanks for consulting Nebula support!

Actually, the candidate selecting mechanism of DCS considers many attributes, such as noise floor, the sum of RSSI, channel utilization, channel penalty time, and max regulatory power.

DCS calculates the weights of indicators mentioned above by the complex algorithm from all channels and thus, selects the best result.

 

Could you kindly help us to tell if there is any issue with DCS from your scenario?

There is another way that you can set up the channel manually from the AP radio setting if you want to give it a try!

But we still suggest users use DCS since we are constantly working to strengthen the functions of DCS in every firmware version upgrade for the best choice.

Best Regards,
