need to know what are the frequencies that rbk50 works

I need to give documents to the customs in Israel on the frequencies of band 5 at rbk50 Can someone help me with this document?
because it stuck in the customs.

  • Wrong answer.  That is the "width" of the Orbi 5G bands.

     

    In the U.S. Orbi uses 2.4G channels 1 (2412MHz) to 11 (2462MHz).  (I do not know if channels 12 & 13 are allowed in Israel or not, or if Netgear is smart enough to only use the bands that are allowed.

     

    My Orbi uses 5G band 48 (5240MHz) for devices and channel 157 (5785MHz) for the satellite connection.  People in the UK have begged on Netgear's Idea Exchange to use other channels because their 5G wireless space is congested as more people install WiFi with 5G.

     

    Good luck getting Customs to release your router!
