Backhaul on Orbi interfering with wireless internet
I have an Orbi RBR50 with 3 satellites. I get my internet beamed to a dish from a mast about 1/2 mile away from me. The wireless internet is using old Orange mobile mast, now run by Wessex Internet....

How big is your home?
do you need a mesh setup? I usually recommend them big time but if its creating havoc with your actual wireless ISP setup, it might be better to go with a more user configurable setup.
How many satellites are you running?
Is it possible to hardwire in your satellite/s?

It's quite a big house with thick walls - I'm running 3 satellites to cover an annexe as well. Hard wiring not really an option, and from what I've read elsewhere it doesn't kill the backhaul, which is kept just in case! I've gone in and changed the starting channel from 108 to 116, which appears to be above the Wessex range, I'll contact them and see if that is enough!
cheers
