Hi!

I will be glad to help you change the wireless channel your your Linksys Router.

First please log into your routers web interface. You will see a tab called "Wireless". Click on that. From there you will see an option called Wireless channel. The default on most Linksys routers is Channel 6 (2.437Ghz) You can change this, then click "Apply settings" and your channel will be changed.

Let me know if you need any help with this!

Answer

You can open a new web browser and work from there.

The default IP for Linksys routers is:

http://192.168.1.1

Click on that, enter your username/password for the router. If you did not create a username or passowrd, the default on most linksys routers is "admin" without the quotes for both username and password.

I will be here if you need any help!
