Changing Backhaul Channel (to Help with Wireless Speakers)
Hello all. I wanted to update an older post regarding using telnet to change the hidden channel backhaul. First, a little background: My router/sats = RB40/RBS40 Orbi is used as a router (not AP...
Btw message 11 in that previous post shows your resolution. Wasn’t that the exact same thing?
Same approach, but different config wording. When you do the "config get" command, what number does it tell you back? In my case "2nd hidden channel" was telling me 48. That is NOT the one you want to change. In my case "hidden channel" was 157. THAT is the one you want to change.
- Hidden channel shows 48 so I set it to 108 like you mentioned. 2nd hidden channel was 157. I set that to 108 didn’t see any difference. 😔
We are having different issues though it seems. My issue is my WiFi connection anywhere near the soundbar is complete trash I’m use to getting 400mbps WiFi and I’ve had it as low as 40mbps lately I moved router and I’m getting 120mbps when I’m lucky but still when I unplug soundbar I get 400mbps. That’s just nuts!Ah, OK. Sorry to hear. Sounds like we have different issues like you said. When I changed the 157 to 108, that is what worked for me. Ugh. Sorry man.
Sorry - one last question for you. Just to make sure.
When you changed the 157 to 108... and it wasn't working for you... did you then confirm that the backhaul was still on 108? Just wondering if Orbi is kicking you back to 157 (due to radar interference). Not that it helps you, but can provide further insight.
