Thanks for your reply. Logistics of the house mean they are as close as they can be. Light comes on blue so I'm assuming the proximity between router and satellite is ok. In terms of adjusting wireless channels do you mean set the Orbi to channel 1,6 or 11 via admin settings and / or on my BT broadband router which in turn connects via Ethernet to the Orbi router? Not sure if I need to change channel settings on both? Thanks.
