wifi channel change on router using command line

[rupa shankar]

Is there a way to change Wifi channels using command line on router Asus RT-N66U?

 

[FTC]

To change 2.4 channel in my rp-68U I use :

nvram set wl0_channel=xx (set xx=your desired channel)
nvram commit
service restart_wireless

With a bit of experimentation and looking at your existing nvram variables you should be able to adjust this commands for your router... Note that the 'service restart_wireless' command will switch off/on all the wireless service, and not only your changed band.
