Orbi Router and WiFi Channels
my Sonos is not working and they have told me to change the Orbi channel as it is to congested. I cannot find an option to do this in the app. any pointers? thanks John
I would set the router to 11 and the Sonos to 1. Farthest part. 5 is a sub channel that is not a primary channel.
Log in to the Orbi router with a PC or Laptop and use a brower to connect at 192.168.1.1 and change the channels there. Can the sono's wifi broadcast be disabled or is this needed with this device. Change to channels 1, 6 or 11 on the router.
thanks, the Sonos mesh broadcasts on either 1, 6, or 11.
the Orbi was set to auto on 2.4ghz.
I have changed Orbi to 5 ( it had 1-13 to choose from)
