[Zigbee] Channel choose for link quality

Configuration
1

Hello,

I (re)configure my zigbee2MQTT to use the channel 26 (i’ve moved to a new house).
Before i was using the channel 11 and it looks that the link quality was better (less walls also), most of my device are Aqara/Xiaomi.

Someone could say me if for example changing the zigbee channel to 25 (or something else), could give me a better link quality ? Or the “poor” quality will be the same changing the channel ?

Another idea, if i put a router with CC2531, the quality could be better also to expand the range of the network ?

I ask this question, to see if i need to (re)pairing all devices (with another channel) to check if the link quality is better or not.

For information, the wifi channel uses by neighboordhoud, it’s 1/6/11. So normally the interference should be ok at this point.

Thank for your feedback.

I’ve read some people having trouble with xiaomi on channel 26. Channel 25 worked for me in the past. Now everything is on channel 11 at my place. But I don’t have 2.4ghz wifi, so I have a simple life :joy:

Thank for the information.

To avoid the issue, i will change the channel then before adding more devices.
