• Select the Keep my channel selection during power cycle check box
to save your channel selection when your Gateway is rebooted.
• Enable DFS channels during channel scan: DFS channels are
enabled by default during channel scans.
Note: DFS channels are a subset of the 5 GHz network that is shared with
radar systems. Some consumer devices do not support these channels and
cannot connect to gateways using them. Examples include some media
streaming devices. Disabling this feature will allow the Gateway to select the
best available channel to broadcast on and allow these devices to connect.
• Press Apply Changes to save the changes.
3. Click Scan to perform a channel availability scan for the Gateway to
identify the radio channels providing the best Wi-Fi performance.
4. On the Radio Management page for 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, the following
information displays and can be configured:
• Channel Analysis - scans and displays channel bandwidth and
signal strength of available APs. Channel Score displays a network
congestion score of zero to ten in each Wi-Fi channel. It can be
used to determine which channels to use or to avoid. Higher score
indicates less congestion in a channel.
• Channel Settings - this is the radio channel used by the Wi-Fi
Gateway and its clients to communicate with each other. The channel
must be the same on the Gateway and all of its Wi-Fi clients. Select
the channel you want the Wi-Fi radio to use to communicate, or
accept the default (Auto) channel selection. Then the Gateway will
automatically assign itself a radio channel.
