[SOLVED] how to change the wifi channel of a hotspot ?

[romsromsroms]

hi

I set up my PC as a wifi hotspot with connectify.

I need to know how to change the wifi channel of the connection.
connectify can't do it. I guess you have to set it somewhere in the network card settings, but I'm quite a noob when it's about wireless network.

googling my problem didn't get me any good result since all the threads about channel setup are about modem/router wifi channel setting, can't find anything about hotspots.

or if by chance you know a hotspot creation soft that can change the wifi canal it would also fix my problem.

thanks in advance.

If I'm not mistaken changing the broadcast channel of your router = changing the channel for your hotspot. Outside PCs will connect to your WiFi network by communicating with your router.

ah sorry, I forgot to precise this : I'm creating the hotspot from a laptop so there is no router, only the inernal wi-fi network card and the hotspot software. but i can't find how to set the wifi channel anywhere.

if you go into the devices properties then select the advanced tab there are some ad-hoc settings one of which is channel

I guess it's "WZC IBSS Channel Number"

If it lists a channel number then that would be right.

Just remember you heard it first on TSF
