Orbi sattelite wifi disabled?

Hi.
I run Orbi netowks at home. I have one router and three satellites. One of them is only necessary to feed my main cpu with a wired link. Seems the wifi-signal coming from this satellite disrupts the mesh. Is there any way to disable one satellite from delivering wifi, and only work on the two cabled patches?

  • Short answer, no.  No capability to turn off radios.

     

    The recommended distance between sat's/routers is at least 30'.  What are yours?

     

    Have you tried reducing power?

  • You can use telnet to disable radio in a specific satellite. This is an option if you want to go through this!

    But I also agree with Chuck_M that you should be able to control the interference by reducing transmission power.
