4. Changing the wireless router’s channel/frequency
Your wireless performance could be slowing down due to interference from other wireless networks in your
area.
From time to time, other devices in your area could overlap onto the channel your router is broadcasting
on and will compete for the airwaves, causing interference, or “noise” which will in turn cause the Wi-Fi to
slow down. You can try and overcome this by changing the channel/frequency that your router will com-
municate on.
Your router will automatically look for the channel with the least interference or “noise”. If your laptop/PC
is unable to “see” your Wireless Network Names (SSID), you may need to login to the router and change
the channel manually.
To change the wireless router’s channel/frequency:
1. Connect your router to your computer or laptop via an Ethernet Cable
2. Launch the wireless router’s administration webpage by typing the address http://192.168.1.254 into
your web browser. When prompted, enter the username admin and the password quick
3. On the router’s homepage, to go Network, then WLAN and select Basic.
4. Here you will be able to change the channel.
