Telus Actiontec T3200M Auto Channel Possible?

Is there any way to set the Telus Actiontec T3200M to automatically change the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels to pone that's less crowded?  Noticing that mine is running on channels 11 and 161 and it never changes.  Nearly all my neighbors are also on the 2.4 GHz Channel 11.

  • I suspect that this is on by default.

     

    In the advanced settings for wireless there are settings for 5G and 2.4G under channel. 5G has 'auto detect' which will select the best channel when rescan is selected. For 2.4G there is 'scheduled channel selection' which will pick the best channel at the 'maintenance time' on a daily basis.

     

    Alternatively you can manually select a channel for each of the bands.

    Pretty sure you can only do it manually. Suggest you try channel 1.
