Wifi channel
I no longer have the ability to control my own wifi channel, or any wifi setting, when entering my defualt gateway firmware. I enter 10.0.0.1 and all my settings are greyed out under my wifi settings. I need to be able to do this, in my area its crucial to getting any kind of speed or consistency. I would really appreciate any help in unlocking this setting again. Thank you!

The only ways I could suggest to get the channel to change are among the following:
1. Restart the Gateway
2. Restart only the WiFi radios of the gateways
3. Get your own equipment

The only reason I was able to gather on why the whole settings were removed from access is because of Mesh Mode for xFi platform itself requiring these settings to be automatically managed.
I wish there was more that can be done but aside from the 3 things I mentioned above, there’s nothing else that could be done about it.

Well, Mesh mode has me grouped up with 16 other wifi channels on my wifi analyzer, when other groups are down near 4 and three each, so obviously its not working the way it was intended. There is no way to unlock these settings? What reason was control taken away from the user? It seems pretty weird to just take away every single possible setting from anyone with experience in setting up a non conflicted wifi signal. I guess this is pretty spot on for comcast at this point. Thanks anyway for the not so friendly response though.

Ad-hoc survey @moo-dog, but what channel is it automatically setting it to?
