Wifi Channel range


Recommended Posts

I can get wifi out in my garden up the path and out on to the street.

 

You might be on a congested channel.

Sorry should have been more clear. I'm using wifi analyzer and I want to go above 11 channel range as the rest are congested in my area.

I know how to change the channel, but last time I must've done something wrong. I had to reset my router... Yeah, that feeling.

I believe the reason that there aren't more wireless channels is partly hardware and partly country regulations. I think 2.4Ghz hardware only allows for 1-14 but the laws of different countries regulate which channels can be used. More information on Wikipedia regarding which countries allow which channels :)

My billion router goes to 13 I have had them in the past that go to 14 and there was a disclaimer saying only for use in certain countrys.

So I assume the Netduma and many other routers only go up to 11 to make sure that people in any county can go anywhere in the range without getting into trouble.

Hey Belloni, the others have explained exactly why we probably won't add any more channels, your best bet is to go with the least congested channel you can
