Orbi - why can't we change channels on satellites?

But directly below is where I want the hard wired ports.
Your solution is to rearrange my house so the Orbi works the way it was designed to work? It is a poor design to not allow channel assignments to address performance issues with co-channel interference AND I can't lower the power settings to try to reduce that co-channel interference either.
Make an advanced tab that allows the satellite channels and power levels to be adjusted.
Something you can post here to request about this and see if NG will review and respond:

Again, this maybe something thats not a feature with in the chipset of the actual wifi drivers for Orbi. Also this system is based on being fairly automatic for the average home user. Most users don't have this need to change any channels or power levels. Users mostly want to set the Orbi system up and have it work and thats it.
Good Luck.
