Conflict between Orbi and Bang & Olufsen WISA speakers
I've had the Orbi RBK50 and RBS40 Satellite system for about 3 weeks now and the wifi quality is excellent and setup was great. However I have one problem. Since I installed the Orbi, the Subwoof...
The Orbi backhaul runs on the higher 5 GHz channels. Mine is on 149-161 right now. Maybe the Orbi backhaul is overlapping with the B&O signal.
Thanks - you know I wondered that too so I tried running it with the satellite switched off, so with just the primary Orbi router and I had the same problem. So it doesnt seem to be the backhaul network (unless that is somehow still transmitting even when there is no satellite there?). I tried forcing my 5GHz to channels 36, then 40 then 44 and that didn't help either. Finally I tried turning the power down on the 2.5GHz network to 25% which is lowest - that was a long shot but it didnt work either.
I just ordered some long network cables from Amazon and when they come tomorrow I'm going to try moving the primary Orbi away from the TV. I'm hoping that will work as the Orbi has been a revolution in our wifi - we've never had such good wifi throughout our apartment before and I'd hate to have to go find an alternative.
