Further Tweaking the Wireless Network

Point your browser to the website http://192.168.1.1 again to continue. Click on Wireless in the left menu

and the following page will appear.

Here we will change the Channel bandwith setting to 20 MHz. Then, set the Band to 5GHz and again

change the Channel bandwith to 20 MHz. Click Apply.

Next, change Band back to 2.4GHz. We'll now take a look at the Control Channel. This "channel" setting

specifies the specific frequency your wireless network will use. In order to get the best possible coverage

using your wireless router, it is advisable to select a relatively 'quiet' channel. If you need help finding the

most quiet channel, you can follow this external manual: www.howtogeek.com/197268/.

Set the Control Channel to either 1, 6 or 11 (depending on which channel you find to be most quiet in your

area). Please do not use any other channel. Again, change Band to 5GHz and set Control Channel to any

of the channels, which you find to be most quiet on 5GHz. For 5GHz, feel free to use any available channel.

Save your changes by clicking Apply.

If you have difficulty using an app to find the most quiet channel, or if you cannot find an app for your

computer or device, you can contact the SNT Helpdesk for further assistance.

At this point your wireless network is finished, congratulations! You can now enjoy better coverage using

your owner wireless router. If you wish to use IPv6 or IPTV from VCK, please see the additional steps.
