Disappointed in flexibility of Orbi Mesh Network
I have an RBR40 router with 3 RBW30 satellites. I purchased this specifically for the square footage coverage and to use with my exterior security cameras. I have about a 3500 square ft. house and t...
The freq separation issue you discuss here has been brought up in this forum many times. You might want to perform a quick search. I saw a post/discussion on this page about the same issue with over 100 posts.

I have tried to "force" the devices to connect to specific satellites and speeds with limited success. They always want to revert back to 5Ghz and satellites.
Thanks, I understand the concept of a Mesh network, but as in all things very few are a one size fits all. There are specific reasons why Netgear should allow the flexibility of configuration. It's not that they cannot. They could easily program this flexibility into their GUI. It is just that they choose not too.

Good luck....sounds like your homework is lacking.

How about Netgear (And others) make theirproducts easier to use and less prone to the type of issues mentioned by the OP. The vast majority of users are not network engineers not do they want to become one.
