| How do I optimize my Wi-Fi channels when I'm experiencing poor Wi-Fi quality? |
Channel quality issues are likely a result of interference caused by competing Wi-Fi signals in the surrounding environment. The amount of interference increases with the number of competing Wi-Fi signals.
Use one of the following methods to optimize this issue:
The following steps demonstrate the HUAWEI WiFi AX3 routers as an example.
Method1: Through the HUAWEI AI Life app
You can use the HUAWEI AI Life app 's Smart network optimization feature for channel optimizations (currently, this feature is only available on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi).
1. Connect your phone to the router's Wi-Fi network.
2. Open the HUAWEI AI Life app on your phone, and go to . Touch and your router will automatically switch to a more optical channel based on its quality information.
- This feature is not available if the current channel you are using is already optimal. In this case, the Remove interferenceools button will be grayed-out.
- During the channel optimization process, connections from existing mobile devices will temporarily drop. However, once the optimization is complete, such devices will re-establish their Wi-Fi connections automatically.
Method 2: Through the web-based management page on your computer
You can use the web-based management page to cycle between channels 1, 6, and 11. Choose the channel that has the best connection.
1. Connect your computer to your router's Wi-Fi network, or directly connect it to your router's LAN port with an Ethernet cable. Open your Internet browser. Enter 192.168.3.1 in the address bar, and then log in to the web-based management page.
For routers that feature self-adaptive ports, you do not need to distinguish between WAN and LAN ports.
2. Go to , then set the desired channel in Channel.
Method 3: Restart the router
The router automatically switches to a better channel after it is restarted.
