    I got a linksys E1550 and im trying the wireless channel. However there is no drop down button for me to change the wireless channel. Its stuck at 1 and does not give me an option to change the channel. Any ideas on why?

    To change the wireless channel, you need to access the router's configuration pages.
    Open a browser (IE or Firefox or whatever you use), type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
    You will get a username and password window for the router.
    The defaults are admin and admin for the E1550.
    Once in the configuration pages follow the instructions HERE and you should be good to go.

    If you have done all that, you may need to reset the router to factory defaults and start over.
    Instructions for that are HERE.
