Sony ST-HT5000 soundbar's connection with subwoofer impacted by Orbi backhaul
I recently bought the Sony HT-ST5000 soundbar, which is quite a beast, with much excitement. Unfortunately, I have not been able to enjoy it to its optimum as it refuses to play nice with my home WiF...

Unfortunately I continued to experience disturbance on the subwoofer and so have had to replace the Orbi with my older NETGEAR R6400 router for now. This resolves the issue as the R6400, unlike the Orbi, operates only on the lower or upper end (as specified) of the 5GHz spectrum and so I can isolate the portion not used for the soundbar.

Ya sounds like the speaker system doesn't allow for much more channels to pick from. And using the same or upper frequencies as the Orbi wifi back haul which can't be disabled.

Was anybody able to get the Orbi and the HT-ST5000 to play nice? I tried all the steps listed above and every combination of channels/frequencies on my Orbi and the soundbar with no luck
