Thanks ekhalil for getting back to me, regarding your questions, please see my response below.
1. I got 18 5G connections, 8 2.4G connections & 8 wire connections
2. I set the channel selection to "Auto ( 8(P) + 4(S) )" for 2.4G and "36+40+44+48(P)" for 5G (i think these are the default settings)
3. I am not sure how to check which channel my neighbours are using
4. Internet speed on orbi app is 70/7 Mbps, while the speedtest software measured 69/6.4Mbps
Thanks.
