How do I change the channel on my router?

A poor range can be caused by interference to the wireless signal transmitted by the router. Most Sitecom routers have 13 different channels by default. If you have a dual-band router, which in addition to the 2.4 GHz frequency also transmits at 5 GHz, then you will have 15 channels (13 for the 2.4 GHz frequency plus 2 for the 5 GHz frequency). 

Each wireless channel works on a different frequency, so the strength of the signal varies. You can change the channel in your Sitecom router's Settings menu (Graphical User Interface). The device (desktop PC, notebook, tablet) you use to access the Settings menu must be connected to the router. This can be either a wired or a wireless connection. Carry out the following steps: 

1. Open a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Safari. 

2. Type the following address in the address bar http://sitecom.router (or http://192.168.0.1) and press Enter.

3. Log in with your username and password. For the user name, enter “admin” (lowercase). The password can be found on the bottom of the router or in the Network Login Details flyer that may have been supplied with it.
