Can you configure preferred radio channels on WatchGuard devices?

Configuring preferred radio channels on WatchGuard devices is indeed possible for both wireless bands—2.4GHz and 5GHz. This capability allows network administrators to have control over the radio frequency environment, optimize performance, and reduce interference that is common in crowded wireless spectra.

By enabling the configuration for both bands, users can strategically select channels that minimize overlap with neighboring networks, which is particularly beneficial in dense settings such as offices or public areas. This flexibility in channel selection helps improve the reliability and speed of wireless connections, allowing for a tailored Wi-Fi experience based on the specific needs and conditions of the environment.

In contrast, limiting configuration to only one band would restrict the ability to fully optimize wireless performance across the entire spectrum. Thus, options indicating restrictions like only allowing selection on the 2.4GHz band or the 5GHz band do not reflect the full capability of WatchGuard devices, which support configuration for both bands simultaneously.
