Annoyed my WiFi keeps switching to an occupied channel (1) causing connection losses.

Is it possible to "arrange for Wi-Fi optimisation technology to be switched off" on my line please? 

I set it to a free channel on the spectrum (channel 5) then when I trouble shoot my raspberry pi connection drop I spot it has changed back to 5. From a different post I see it's possible for Talk talk to turn off the 'optimisation' that is possibly causing this with my SG4K100174 hub?

Morning,

How are you getting on? Do you still need assistance with this?

Thanks

Michelle

You should never use channel 5 in the 2.4GHz band, only 1, 6 or 11. This might be why WiFi optimisation wants to move your channel.

Do you still need help with this?

Hi @Geofaf 

Do you still need help with this?

Did you try rebooting the router?

Hi Geofaf

I'm sorry to hear this.

Can I just check, have you recently tried rebooting the router?
