  • 1.  Disabling channels 149 and 153 for Apple TVs

    Posted Mar 21, 2022 10:27 AM
    Hello everyone,

    I've read several articles that state you should disable client access to wifi channels 149 and 153 because Apple TVs use this channel for peer-to-peer connections. Every one of our classrooms has a 4th-gen Apple TV installed and they're all wireless. If we had an ethernet connection available, we would be using it.

    Some of our newer devices have slow and choppy playback when mirroring and I'm thinking that disabling 149 and 153 could help. Has anyone heard of this? If so, where in the GUI do I go to disable both channels?

    Is this IAP, Central or Controller based?

    It's controller-based running AOS 8.7.1.8. Thanks.
