does not allow channel 11). The channel can be changed if needed. If
there are other wireless networks operating in your area, your network
should be set to operate on a channel that is different than the other
wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at least
five channels away from the other wireless network. For instance, if
another network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to
channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select the channel from
the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate.

Note:

When using the WURE in “Wireless Repeater Mode,” the

channel of your WURE must match the channel of your parent access
point. For easy configuration, set the channel of your WURE to “Auto”.
Change the channel of the parent access point. The channel or the
WURE will automatically match the parent access point.
