Backhaul on Orbi interfering with wireless internet
I have an Orbi RBR50 with 3 satellites. I get my internet beamed to a dish from a mast about 1/2 mile away from me. The wireless internet is using old Orange mobile mast, now run by Wessex Internet....
H Plemans, he basically said that the Orbi was running on the external 5G and should be running on the internal 5G, that is channels below 50! I've gone back and explained the situation fully to him, waiting to hear his response, but it seems that they and the Orbi are basically running over the same 100 - 140 range of channels and therefore tripping over each other. I've asked him if he can go above 140, but from what he said when I last spoke to him it seems he's pretty stuck on what channels he can use as well. I'll let you know if any more information comes up.
Having looked over his email again, Wessex are using 5.555 ghz, which is around channel 108, so I gues I need to avoid channels 104 - 112 to be sure!
