Orbi RBK53 interfering with TV aerial
I’ve just installed an orbi router and two satellites and they appear to be working well giving me A strong WiFi signal (I had to turn my virgin hub 3 to modem mode first, then connect it to the orbi...
Thanks for all your detailed responses. When I turned the router off it made no difference so I guess that means it’s not a problem of interference? I should have explained on my original post that the tv is connected to both the aerial and router through a humax freeview box, so while I think my tv is capable of wireless connection, I need it to be connected via an Ethernet cable to the freeview box in order to receive freeview channels . Could it be a problem with this box? Might I need to upgrade it for some reason? Thanks again for your help.
Yes, the Freeview box is a significant part of the puzzle. I have (some) experience with a digital television antenna that is located less than four feet from a Wi-Fi router (2.4G and 5G) and the Wi-Fi appears not to interfere with the digital tv reception at all.
So, the tv is connected only to the Freeview box using a wired connection and the Freeview box is connected to a digital tv antenna and to the Orbi router using a wired connection?
Which model of Freeview box is it?
