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.
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)

- thanks, I changed again but Sonos on 11 and Orbi to 1 as Sonos said 11 was most congested channel. seems to be working.
almost got scammed by a popup chat on a Netgear website (probably a clone) who claimed to be from Netgear and wanted $400 to fix. beware! as you know, it was a simple fix, now I remember my log in details
ThanksOk, should work now.
NO do not do that fake support site stuff.
Good Luck.
