When the EZhotspot Extender is not repeating another wireless signal, the local wireless channel can be configured accordingly by clicking on the Smart AP detection menu.
The Smart AP selection will assist you to locate the best wireless channel by performing a wireless scan and presenting the possibilities in a graphical menu.

Note: For 2.4Ghz, it is important to select only channel 1, 6 or 11 for optimal performance. These are non-overlapping channels
Note: For 5Ghz, it is important to select only 36, 40, 44 or 48 for optimal performance. These are non-DFS channels which are not subject to Radar Avoidance
For example: In the below detection, Channel 1 is the most preferred as there are only 5 other wireless detected with a 36/70 signal noise as compared to channel 6 or channel 11
Click on the desired channel button to use that channel.
