Replaced a Surf SoHo with the newer B One and I can’t get the AP config to use WiFi channel of my choosing. It ALWAYS reverts back to channel 6 on 2.4 and 149 on 5 GHz. Router is using firmware 8.5.1. I don’t think I’m making a mistake in the configuration but I wouldn’t put it past me to have overlooked something.
What’s prompting this is an extremely slow connection on occasion. (Happens more often that I’d like.) When checking connection status using ping, it’s not unusual to see replies push 20-30 seconds if not outright drops.
One thought process is that there are too many neighbors using default channels making for conflicts.
