Router.

Hi. Our terraced street is pretty wi-fi crowded and I've changed the router channel a few times accordingly after looking at Wi-Fi Analyser. The last two times the channel interfering with ours has changed with ours, so no luck. I finally realise our router is transmitting two signals on channel 6... is this possible? one is marked as our network, the other is EE. When I try to access the router it won't recognise the password {checked carefully}. I've done a reset twice and used the password on the back of the router but no luck. I want to change to channel 13. I'm OK with the 2.4 band. Everything is working OK but the printer takes ages to connect even in the same room. Advice please.

what appears to be a duplicate channel is the free EEWIFI/BTWIFI which you are automatically opted in to and can use it when out and about connecting to other BT/EE broadband customers. the login is your BT username and password not same as hub login and password

you can opt out of BTWIF/EEWIFI if you want but then you do not get access when out and about
