Hello guys, I have a fortiwifi 60C with FortiOS 4.0-MR3. I' m trying to change the channel used by my ssid which is currently set to 6. I' d like to set it to 11 as no one uses this channel in my neighborhood every SSID seems to be set to channel 1 or 6... But I just can' t find how to do that by GUI or CLI ? Is it even possible ? Thx for any insights !

    Create a Custom AP Profile, checking the options you want on the radio, including the channels. Then assign this Profile to the 60C (I assume WFW60C).

    Not sure if you can set the channel within the GUI but in CLI you can change it. Cant confirm these are exactly the right commands within MR4 Check out wich profile the AP of FWF is using. show wireless-controller wtp Then chance the channel in the profile config wireless-controller wtp-profile edit <<profilename>> config radio-1 set channel <<channel>> end

    Hi Guys, thx for your input. Dave' s screenshots were just what I need and it works just fine now. The thing is that i needed to create a wtp profile which I did not do the frst time. It also works in cli obviously. Thx a lot !
