WIFI Channels
For the home internet service. What are the wifi channels it's operating on?
For those who use Linux and want to see the wireless information LinSSID is available and it functions pretty much the same as inSSIDer for Windows and WiFi Analyzer for Android. Rather handy to have for just geeking about. 😎 Easy to obtain the broadcasted 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz high and low bands and available SSIDs including the protocol type for each the adapter can interface with.
If you have a Nokia GW the information is available easily with the web browser via 192.168.12.1.
If you have the Arcadyan or the Sagemcon you can maybe get the information out via the T-Mobile home internet mobile application.
If you have an Android phone and have a wireless scanner application on it you would be able to see the various channels for each frequency.
If you are on an Apple MacBook you can select the Apple icon in the bar and select “About this MAC” then “System Information” then Network > WI-FI It will report the radios and the channels and various information for the various SSIDs.
If you have an Arcadyan gateway & you want to know the router info for configuration you can use the command: http://192.168.12.1/TMI/v1/gateway?get=all and it will report the parameters as they are.
How do you turn off auto on the 5g fast

They are probably set to Auto for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz settings. Set them manually if you are having device connection issues. Especially with Amazon Echo’s, Nintendo devices, and other picky devices. 3, 6, and 9 are usually the most compatible channels for each band. 40, 48, and 56 are also good channels to pick on the 5GHz band. Make sure you lock the channel bandwidth down as well. 20MHz for 2.4GHz and 40MHz for 5GHz.
How do I change these? I don't see anything in the app.

You can check this by navigating to the web UI under 192.168.12.1.
