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.

      Great!  As for the app, I posted a comment about making your rental fees work for you.
