4. Select a channel number from the Channel drop-down list that is different from the channel
number listed as the Current Channel.
Note: ARRIS recommends to use Channel 6 or 11, if it is not listed as the Current Channel. In the Wi-Fi
spectrum, there are multiple channels that overlap and thus degrade wireless network performance.
Channels 1, 6, and 11 are used for better network performance and stability because they do not overlap.
5. Click Apply.
