ORBI Interfering with computer monitor
I set up my ORBI router and the 3 satellites with minimal problem but I noticed that it is interfering with my computer monitor. I set it on my desk and the monitor screen picture became scrambled so I assumed the monitor was on the verge of quiting so I bought a new one. When I plugged the new one in the same thing happened to that one. I thought maybe it was the router causing the issue so I moved the router inside the tower compartment. It worked fine for a while but as soon as I moved it outside the tower compartment the monitor screen picture became scrambled again. I attached the ORBI router to a longer Ethernet cable and moved it across the room and now my monitor screen is fine. I don't really want to have a Ethernet cable running around my living room. Is there something I can change in the settings to take care of this issue? Thanks

Your monitor maybe suseptible to wifi interferences. It's recommended to keep wifi broadcasing devices away from other devices. 3-6 feet minimum to start.
