If BT HH 5 is so clever..

So installed wifi analyzer on my tablet to check signal throughout my house.
What did I notice, all the BT devices listed where sat on channel 11, any reason for this?

I believe its just the default setting, just change it to a less congested channel. I don't think any devices like the HH will dynamically change wifi channel.

And it isn't that clever...

Most routers will check the wireless channels on boot and select the least congested. It's been around for years and nobody shouted about it until BT.

but thats my point why are the bt devices all picking channel 11

Channel 11 is where they share secret data to spy on you and your neighbours

.

Honestly I have no idea. Even on the HH3 and HH4 I've never seen it work properly. I've always disabled the smart wireless feature and set it to my own channels using WiFi Analyzer to pick the best one.

You may have non-Wi-Fi interference on channels 1 and 6.

I'm not on bt , just wondered why bt devices were doing it.
