Overview

You may sometimes need to manually assign specific channels to individual Access Points (APs) for better performance or to resolve interference issues.

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Navigate to Configure > Access Points > Radio Settings
  
• Scroll to the bottom of the page
  
• Select the frequency band you wish to configure (e.g., 2.4GHz band)
  
• Check the checkbox next to the specific AP you want to modify
  > Click the Edit button

• 
  From the dropdown menu, select your desired channel

Best Practices
