Hello. To change and modify the gateway settings, you will want to use the panoramic wifi app. You can find more information about the app here: www.cox.com/.../panoramic-wifi-app.html. -Allan, Cox Support Forums Moderator.

    Allan, thanks for the reply. the panoramic wifi app doesn't have an option to set the channel that the wifi will use.

    i can set the ssid, security protocol - password in the edit wifi settings page

    i can set the lan ip scheme, the dhcp range and lease time in more/advanced/lan &wan page

    this is the same for the web app and the android mobile app. am i not looking in the right place?

      I don't have a Pano so I can't explore.

      Can you separate your bands (2.4 & 5) as 2 different networks?  Looks like you only have 1 network with the 2 bands.  Try to separate and then check if option to select a channel appears.
