3x RBS50Y and all use same channel
Hi, I'm asked for help on a setup with a router and three Orbi RBS50Y's connected. All three satelites are using the same channel (11) as the router. Is ther a way to set it up wareby the satellites...
Nope....how the system is designed. Remember this is extender/repeater kind of system. Not Separate AP signals, where you would try to keep channels far appart. Extender/Repeater have to broadcast on same channel.
Distance between the RBS and RBR is key though. 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Won't that interfere with other extender on which are using channel 11 too??
I always understood that you should keep the channels apart.
