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...
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...
So how do you get to the screen to change the channel?
By selecting the down arrow menu for the channels then when they are disaplayed, click on a channel you want to use. Then apply the setting.
- That doesn’t tell me how to get to the screen that shows the channels.

Just click on Wireless in the left-hand list of pages.
