    Hi @Clamshell , Your wifi devices may lose connectivity for a moment but should reconnect automatically

    Hi. Good reply. My installer set the channels previously. Now my testing app indicates that its now not so good due to interference.

    To add to @5263P3 's reply, some mesh routers also include a channel test feature (I know Linksys's Velops do this) where you can initiate a search for the least crowded channels and the Velop nodes will use the results automatically. I guess for Linksys, their hands off auto feature does not always work.
