I decided to have a play around with the different channels on my router (Linksys WAG120N) and see how the signal strength is. I have found that my PS4 and my computer says that they are picking up channel 7 when my router says I am on channel 9, whats up with this?

Router is set to use 40MHz wide channels, but your devices are only connecting at 20Mhz narrow channel. The 20MHz only channel will be set as the lower, channel 7.
