Can i run a command to make DD-WRT re-select the wireless channel?

It's always channel 6, is this really a result of DD-WRT finding an unused channel? Smile

Always select 1,6 or 11 and never use auto channel.

I agree. Part of being a good neighbor.

I think he was asking about from the command line via ssh, but that's just me. I think the default selection is channel 6, not Auto for 2.4GHz radios in most of the more recent builds I've tested....

Yup and can select 1, 6 or 11 from UI. Should not have any other channel as that causes noise on your neighbor if you select something in between. Auto channel may pick a something other then 1, 6 or 11. Not good.
