How can I change the modem Wi-Fi channel?

In some cases, other gadgets like your neighbour’s modem or other equipment may interfere with your Wi-Fi signal. If you’re having such an issue, you can try changing the Channel and see if doing so will make a difference. Firstly confirm your modem’s model before following the below instructions.
