Hola Matthias, muy buen dia,
=C2=A0
> Which channel you would suggest?

That depends=2E On your environment, the neighbourhood of APs (and probabl=
y a lot of other radiating sources in your area as others have pointed out)=
=2E
If you only look at WiFi, however, channels 1, 5, 9, and 13 may be a good =
choice -- if you use 802=2E11g/n and no one else nearby is on 802=2E11b or =
n only ([1], [2], and assuming that you're in the EU)=2E

> Thanks for any hint what I could do=2E

That is difficult but maybe you can tell the phone not to attempt to go up=
 to bandwidths above a certain bandwidth, or tell the AP not to=2E That red=
uces throuhgput but may lead to more stable connections in a noisy or edge-=
case environment=2E Other than that, I'd also be pretty much out of ideas, =
sorry=2E

Saludos,

Peter=2E

Hi Peter,

The AP at home has only support for 2=2E4 GHz and my devices (FreeBSD lapt=
ops,
Linux laptops and a bunch of E4=2E5 Ubuntu cellphones) perhaps also only
for 2=2E4 GHz=2E

Which channel you would suggest?

The question has todo with one of the BQ E4=2E5 Ubuntu cellphones
I have here in my family: It connects fine with *any* AP outside my house
(in my company, public APs and even using my iPhone 8 as AP in personal
hotspot mode)=2E But it does not work with the AP in question=2E It
connects, get an IP assigned but traffic to/from get stuck=2E Maybe some
interference which affects only this device=2E It was not always this way,
it started from one day to the other=2E=2E=2E

Thanks for any hint what I could do=2E
