'''Notes:'''
* Wireless channels shouldn't have to be changed often (more than once every 6-12 months). If you find yourself making these changes too frequently, you may have to invest in a mid to high end router with additional channels on the 5Ghz frequency. Contact [mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] for recommendations if needed.
