The only non-overlapping 2.4 GHz channels are 1, 6 and 11, and those are usually the best channels to choose unless others are using them and you are receiving those signals with high power.
I use the built-in wifi scanner in my Macbook. In my iPhone I use the Apple Airport management app to do the scanning. There are many other apps for Windows as well as for Android and iOS.
Start with one of the channels 1, 6 and 11.
Devices that are already attached to Orbi should automatically change channels, so normally you should not need to reboot the devices.
You can also use 'WiFi Sweetspots' on IOS devices to measure WiFi band connectivity :)
