WiFi channels explained

For best results, it is highly recommended to keep the 2.4 GHz channels to 1, 6, and 11 , as these channel settings will allow for virtually no overlap in the WiFi signal.

A WiFi channel is the medium through which our wireless networks can send and receive data . For routers made in the U.S., the 2.4 GHz band has 11 channels and the 5 GHz band has 45 channels.

The recommended channels to use on 2.4 Ghz are Channel 1, 6 & 11 . As can be seen in the above diagram, these channels do not overlap into each other. In general 2.4 Ghz should be considered a legacy band for older devices that do not support 5 Ghz. It is often more crowded and less performant than 5 Ghz.15 Şub 2022
