Backhaul quality is horrible
I bought a RBR50 router (configured in AP mode) and 3x RBS50 satellites. To diagnose the problem I switched off all satellites, except one. The problem is that a neighbour is using the exact channel ...
Try the beta.
Theres no CLI support.

I'm on FW 2.1.2.18. Just curious, why Cat6? I have Cat 5e which should be more than sufficient. I have a wireless backhaul, not wired. I'd mainly like to know if there is a way to make more advanced changes via a CLI?

I wasn't able to find a good solution and I didn't contacted the Moderator because "private" solutions aren't solutions. As soon as the cable is removed (and the WiFi backhaul is there) the problems on the IPTV are comming back. The stability of the link between the RBR50 and RBS50 ia a real problem..
Actually I removed all the RBS50 satellites and the replaced the last one with a gigabit ethernet switch and still a "temporary" cable crossing my living room. So actually the RBR50 is a luxury access point with an integrated switch. Much worse than my previous Ubitquiti UAP-AC-PRO. I'm seriously considering to remove those Netgear Orbi devices, because they aren't providing the network quality I'm expecting.
Needless to say that the Ubquiti devices are much more configurable than the Netgear Orbi and they were working for months like a charm. Netgear has probably lost more than a customer here due to the lack of open support and advanced configuration. I'll probably give a try to the Ubiquiti mesh network instead.Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I don't like the lack of control with the Orbi, which I somewhat knew before I bought them but didn't realize just how limited it would be. I'm thinking about selling them and going with Ubiquiti. I went the lazy route with the Mesh system because I didn't want to tear into walls, ceilings and run cabling but I think it's the best bet in the long run.
5 meters away? Why do you even need the satellite? Wondering if you are getting interference from them being to close together...
