disable wireless backplane to avoid high frequency channels
I first got the Orbi mesh because our house did not have ethernet pulled to different parts of the house and i used the wireless backplane. We are in a new house now with wired cat 6 to several poi...
Yes I agree. The only thing that has my geek still looking at this is, if I am completely wiring my backplane satellites I am not sure anything should be still going over the backplane, so I would like the option to turn that off or in full disclosure know nothing is still going over that higher end channel. It seems to me that stuff is stil going over the wireless backplane.

I guarantee that WiFi channel at least has the usual management traffic ("beacon" frame, etc.) I don't use ethernet backhaul, or I would try the "radio hack" just for entertainment. It shouldn't totally hose the router.
