How to change the channel with Baby Monitor on Apple Airport Router?

To change the channels on the Apple airport router with the help of a baby monitor, you need to follow a few simple steps, which are given below-

1) Look for interference source

• The two-point GHz Wi-Fi networks have to face a lot of interference from other connected devices. So, you need to find the interference source.
• You have first to set up your Apple airport router and choose your network. Then go to the advanced settings and select "logs and statistics " options. You can further check all the connected devices to your wireless network and find out the reason behind the cause of interference.

2) Airport Utility App

Install and open the airport utility app on your Mac. If you are unable to locate it then you can find it in the "utilities folder" in the "application folder".

3) Wireless settings

• After opening the app, choose your 'airport extreme" router option.
