Rylo Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I’m just wondering how it works I guess, I’m on channel 153 and it says 74% but 157 says 84% does that mean that’s how full it is? also for 5ghz channel should I put channel width to auto?

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 24, 2021 It is hard to say without knowing what the analyzer is, can you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing please? It is likely the strength of the wifi signal. You can use auto or try selecting a manual channel based on the analyzer results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see it in the manual myself Sorry about the long response happened to get a bad thunder storm and didn’t have power, but that’s the analyzer from the bell IP for the hub, and it shows how strong the channel signal is and that’s what the %s are for or at least that’s what I have gathered but I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 OK that looks about right, could you try switching your 5GHz channel to one of those showing 100% and see if it improves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what the modem is on, the R2 is on 153 and I don’t believe I’m able to change the channel on the modem Im not able to change anything about the 2.4 or 5ghz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you try downloading a different Wi-Fi Analyser and compare the results? There's a good one on the Microsoft store simply called 'Wi-Fi Analyser'.
