It may not be "rocket surgery" but depending on the router you are using it also may not be possible. The interface I have access to on my T-Mobile router does not provide that level of configuration. Even if the router supports manually changing channels and you have access to the administrative functions to do that, not everyone will be comfortable making changes as a simple mistake could be difficult to recover from.
