I use a Netgear X4S to stream Blu-Ray over the air. Unfortunately, I could only use the lower channels in the 5 GHz band on the network bridge (WD My Net). This coincides with the 5 GHz channels used for the Orbi, which reduces the bandwidth dramatically. This makes streaming impossible. I'm not afraid of the command line so if Netgear could point me to where I could disable the /etc/config/wireless file from being overwritten, that would be great. Changing ath1, ath2, and ath11 to disabled '1' gets overwritten when running "wifi reload."
