How are radio channels automatically selected by default on WatchGuard devices?

WatchGuard devices automatically select radio channels based on the availability of a quiet channel, which is the most effective strategy for minimizing interference and optimizing performance. This approach ensures that the device operates on a channel that is less congested, allowing for better quality of service and higher throughput.

When channels are chosen automatically in this manner, the devices assess the current radio environment and select channels that are not heavily utilized by other wireless networks. This functionality is especially useful in environments where multiple wireless networks are present, as it helps to reduce the likelihood of interference that can lead to slower speeds and connectivity issues. This method is a critical aspect of maintaining reliable Wi-Fi performance, particularly in dense urban or multi-tenant environments where many networks may overlap.
