ORBI manual channel selection
My Internet Provider is wireless in our rural area. The ISP radios operate in 2.4GHz. My current wifi mesh (Google) does not provide any ability to manually deconflict channel contention in this case...
Did you try this? I’m having the same conflict with my wireless ISP and the Orbi router RB50 has limited channel selections and you can’t change the backhaul channel. So I’m searching for a different router as well.
No, I've not given it a try. My wireless ISP upgraded their tower gear a few weeks ago (stronger and narrower beam signal) and now my Google wifi gear is working at the service-level I was supposed to have with the ISP.
You may want to try and coordinate with your ISP to determine frequency and channel options/recommendations (if you haven't already). Google does not provide any channel selection at all, so the fact that Orbi does is a good thing imho.
If you're referring to your ISP's backhaul flexibility...I wouldn't expect them to have any. Usually, it is...what it is with infrastructure.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help...
