So I did one of those network channel scans and one of my neighbors was on the same channel as me (channel 1). I changed my router (Nighthawk R7000) to channel 11, and did the scan again. Neighbors channel changed to 11 as well. Basically whatever I change mine to, it's somehow changing the neighbors as well to the same channel. Our mac addresses are also very similar. Does this occur in networking and how can I get my own channel?

Many routers can automatically change channels. His may change channels at will. Don't worry about the mac address. Similar just means they are from the same manufacturer.
