so i recently installed wi fi analyzer on my phone and i used the app to check for my wi fi signal. The wi fi i am using currently has both 2,4 ghz channel and 5 ghz channel. The app recommend me to switch from channel 3 (because everyone else in my neighborhood is using it) to Channel 6 , 13 or 14 but i don't know what this means and how to do it ( is it under my routers setting)?. Another thing i noticed from the app is i have a 5 ghz channel and there is no one else using this channel so it is free, but the problem is i don't know how to switch to the 5ghz channel from my PC( i have the PCE-N15, PCI-E wireless-N adapter) does this adapter support 5 ghz if so how do i switch to the 5 ghz channel.

Thanks

The settings to change your channel are in your WiFi modem settings. Should be in the wireless settings under basic settings. However, each WiFi modem is different. If you are in the US you will not be able to change it to anything above channel 11. The best channels to use are usually 1, 6 and 11.

Should look something like this: But all routers differ.

Will changing my channel effect anything?

If you switch to a lesser used channel you get less interference from other networks in the area

No it will just cause less interference from neighboring signals.
