Wifi channel scan interval

I've been having wifi speed issues for the last few weeks (i have 4 ap30 )

 

A sophos support person told me in a Reddit form to set my AP's to scan and select the broadcast channel for different times so they didn't all see channel 11 for example and all jump on 11

 

This makes sense to me but I don't see anywhere in the wifi protection portion to do this

  • Hi,

    I prefer manual channel settings, but here you go: Go to Wireless Protection - Access Points. Edit the AP, select auto channel. Check Dynamic channel and Time based scan. Create different time peroiods for each AP to scan. 

    Good luck.

  • Those AP30s were end-of-life on 6/30 this year, Robert.  Last sales of them were three years earlier.  If one breaks down, you will want to replace it with a 55 or 55C.  None of the APs of the AP 30 generation has the capability that tiddlyfish describes, so your best bet is to assign different channels manually.

    Cheers - Bob
