My E3000 with the latest Kong build allows selecting channel 14. This is illegal here. If I remember well, FCC said that in the US channels 1-13 are allowed for wireless users, but in practice US hardware manufacturers only allow users to use channels 1-11. _________________ 2 times APU2 Opnsense 21.1 with Sensei

I cannot use channel 14 on my E3000 unless I stop using 40Mhz channels. I can use channel 13, however. _________________ My Network:

Aluratek airmm01f configured as 802.11g AP
WRT54G v6 running dd-wrt micro sp2, set up as repeater and bridge for Sony TV (connected to the 802.11g AP)
Is there any way to block the upper channels (at 2.4Hz) from being automatically selected if we go to http://<router_IP>/Wireless_Basic.asp and choose "Select Channel: Auto"?
It would be a lot easier to make the router choose the best (less clouded) channel were I live than having to test it everytime my connection somehow slows.
