I have a new FIOS Quantum Q1100 router and discovered it will auto-select 5.0GHz channels that are not on the configuration pull-down. I would like the router to operate on channel 132 so it will avoid other channels in use at my location. This worked fine on my office desk, but when I moved to to the permanent location, it selected a different in-use channel and won't go back.
There are a silly-few number of 5.0GHz channels offered in the configuration page - not much better than 2.4GHz.
I attempted to use a proxy to resubmit the PUT form with channel 132 and that really hosed the router so I had to start over from factory defaults.
Anyone have the trick?
Thanks.
P.S. - Channel 132 tested at 95/95Mbps when on 132, as expected. It wasn't a fluke. It wasd that the other choices had stronger signals on the apparent "default" selections. I hate to ahve to hook up two more routers just to get this thing to move to where I want it.
