A wireless channel determines which operating frequency will be in use. It is not necessary to change the channel unless you’re noticing interference problems with nearby access points. The Channel Width setting is preset to automatic, allowing the client’s channel width for to adjust automatically.

Before we begin, please log into web management interface: connect your computer, phone or tablet to the TP-Link router via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, use the default access printed on the router to visit the web management interface.
