frequency band.
The channel selection
Automatic.
The WiFi 6 Repeater 5400
automatically executes the channel selection in
this setting. In other words, if the last connected
station logs out, a search for a suitable channel is
carried out immediately. If no stations are
connected, the device automatically selects a
channel every 15 minutes.
It is worth noting that connected devices also have
to support the increased frequency band of 5 GHz.
From channel 52 onward you go into the radar
range. When accessing the device for the first time,
a radar detection phase (DFS) starts automatically,
during which time the WiFi 6 Repeater 5400
cannot be accessed via Wi-Fi. This can take up to 10
minutes.
In the Channel field, you can manually select a 2.4
GHz and a 5 GHz channel. If you are not sure which
wireless channels are used by nearby devices,
select the Automatic option.
