Ac68u channels

[Sandude]

hi there, how can I find what channel is in use on my ac68u for 2.4g and 5g ? They are both set to Auto but I'd like to know what channels are in use so I can compare performance per channel if I change them manually. Thanx in advance /Sandude

Here is a use case for inssider.

The problem with Auto is that what inssider shows you now may not be what Auto selects when you notice it being faster or slower the next time as it changes the channel depending on the environment and it's unknown algorithm.

Yes .. So how do I find out what channel is actually in use, is it static if I set it manually? If I set 2.4 to say channel 6 manually I expect it to stay on ch. 6 .. or does it ? So where where in the menu can I see the channel in use ?

Yes if you set the channel manually then it wont change and is probably the best way to do it. Merlin firmware has a wifi icon at the top right you can hover your mouse over and will tell you what channel is in use for each band. Asus stock firmware does not have this feature.

John's fork is one of the best and is rock solid. > http://www.snbforums.com/threads/fork-update-for-374-43-available-v13e1.18914/

DD-WRT is a 3rd party firmware that can be installed onto some routers. Its an alternative firmware. Imagine being able to have the same firmware for multiple devices. There are drawbacks though with using DD-WRT and its not exactly user friendly compared to stock firmware.
