1. What 5 GHz channel do you have set in Orbi?

4. Attached Google Home -and probably Amazon Echos- broadcasts wifi on the same channel as Orbi if Guest mode is enabled in those devices. Can you please disable Guest mode to test. If any of your other devices also does this then please switch it off for testing.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
1.
2.4 GHz channel is 1
5 GHz channel is 36
Neither channel setting matters, I've tried them all...
2. It happens when attached to the main router, I'm not certain about the connection to the satellite. I can try to test that...
3. Backhaul is wireless.
4. Google Home Guest mode is set to off. The Amazon Echos (dots) don't have a guest mode
- ekhalilAug 03, 2019MasterWhich of your devices are wired?
Will you be able to disconnect all wired devices, reboot Orbi Router and see if you’ll still see the same issue with wireless devices after few days?- mkfeinAug 03, 2019StarWhat would doing that accomplish?
Wired devices are: 1 Apple TV, Comcast DVR, wink hub, Yamaha AVR and a Craftsman garage door controller.
