Selecting the channel
쑗 Channel
For operation as an access point, a (transmission)
channel must be specified. There are 13 channels
available. We recommend retaining the default setting
Auto, since the devolo GigaGate Satellite regularly
selects the channel itself with this setting. If no stations
are connected, the device automatically selects a chan-
nel every 2 hours.
Auto: The devolo GigaGate Satellite establishes the
most suitable channel automatically, depending on the
connected WiFi devices and the WiFi mode used.
1-13: The WiFi channel can also be set manually.
Channel selection ranges from 1 to 13.
