Los Angeles, CA | Best Frequency Channel for Fios router I just switched from my linksys router to my fios router. My linksys was running on ch6. The fios one was set to automatic but I changed it to 6. Is there a recommend channel that works best on this router?. Thank you. |

Experiment until you find the one that works best. If they are all the same it doesn't really matter.
1, 6 and 11 are the ones I would try first.
Try one run a few speedtests and see what you get. Then try the other and run some speedtest and then try the last one and again run some speedtest. |

Install inSSIDer and see what channel has the least congestion |

kudos:1 | I ran into this last night at my fiance's house. I used Inssider to see all the channels being used and those broadcasting at high signal levels so that I could avoid it.
In my specific case, the least used channel was not the best by far. I told the router to use a specific channel and then set it to "automatic". This in turn did produce the best results.
I run speed tests and tested latency/packet loss on each channel as well to help with the findings. |
