I think there is a misunderstanding related to the terms here:
1. IIRC my router is supposed to switch channel (i.e. frequency) automatically unless I explicitly set it to a fixed channel.
I don't know how but my devices figures out and continues working.
2. I think the misunderstanding is related to the word frequency hopping or whatever was used further up in the discussion.
I normally take "frequency hopping" to mean changing frequncy multiple times a minute or even faster while I doubt my wireless access point will switch channels more than a few times in 24 hours.
Disclaimer: I never really sat down and verified if it ever changed.
Also agree with logicalle that I wish for a bit more civility.
