While adjusting some settings on my AC68U access point, the Control Chanel was inadvertently set to "Auto" where the unit selected Channel 2. I noticed that my wireless down speed (speedtest.net) doubled to about 150Mbps. The access point was previously set to channel 11, the clearest non-overlapping channel.
There are a number of conflicting SSIDs on channel 1, 6, and 11. Why would my throughput be so much higher on an overlapping channel where it has interference from multiple channels...
