Honestly, if I had it here still I would check for you. I remember it using a bunch of different channels (depending on what it and the router thought was best)...but cant be more specific than that - sorry (it was about 50ish reviews ago for me). Best guess is it DOES ....but maybe only with Asus routers. I find that wifi gear still even after years and years of claims always works best when you pair the router and adapters. I know I did not fiddle with it to make it work. Simply plugged and 'played' as otherwise I would have made not of it in the review.
