The Orbi Home Wi-Fi challenge - so far is not going to win for me ....
I bought the Orbi RBK20's based on the Orbi Home Wi-Fi challenge - so I had nothing to lose if things did not work out. My main gripe is not being able to split the wireless streams into 2x SSIDs...
An easy method to force your Auralic on the 5 gHz band is to turn down the 2.4 gHz transmit power on the ORBI. Go to the web based GUI, select the "Advanced" tab, then "Advanced Setup">Wireless Settings". You'll see a drop down menu for transmit power.
I suggest lowering the 2.4 gHz transmit power to 25%. Reboot the ORBI; allow the ORBI to "settle" for 15-20 minutes after the reboot. Reboot your Auralic and then check the "Attached Devices" page on the ORBI to see if the Auralic has transferred to the 5 gHz band. If it has, try increasing the ORBI transmit power to allow your other 2.4 gHz devicesa chance to "see" the WiFi signal again.
Good luck!
Interesting thanks - I haven't touched the web gui yet - pity you don't have that advanced option in the app.
I just assumed that the Orbi preferred using the Router over the Satellite to minimise hops - but your dedicated backhaul connection should not add any real latency - unless it does?
