Your Velop system will turn OFF the Wi-Fi to scan channels and all devices will be disconnected temporarily. If it finds better channels, Channel Finder will automatically make the changes for you.

If you are already using the best channels, Channel Finder will not make any changes. Tap Done.

Step 7:
If there are any changes, tap Technical details to view the new channels.

The previous channels are on the left and if any channels were changed they will be displayed on the right side with an arrow. In the example below, only the channel of the first 2.4 GHz band for Living Room was changed. The channel was changed from 11 to 5.
