If you have a device currently connected to the Wi-Fi router, you can use this step by step guide to change the wireless channel.
Step 1
You will need your router's IP address. This may be located under the router along with the username and password. If you are unable to locate it, follow these steps:
- Open your command prompt (You can do this by typing cmd into windows search and clicking on the command prompt application)
- Once open, type ipconfig and press enter
- Look through the results and find your default gateway. This is your router's IP address.
Step 2
Once you have located your router's IP address, open your web browser and put the IP address in the web address bar. This will bring you to a login screen where you will need to:
- Enter your username and password. *You can find this underneath your router. If not, a quick google search "What is my router's username and password" along with the brand/model name should give you the info required.
- Once you are logged into the router, click on the wireless section, and then go through the settings until you see wireless channel. This will be normally set on auto.
- From the drop-down menu, you can remove auto or the channel number that it was assigned to, and move it to another channel.
