I am having the same issue I believe. I believe the backhaul channels are in the upper 5 GHz range which is causing the interference with my Nakamichi Shockwafe rear speakers which are running in the same channel range. No sure how I can make sure that my rear speakers are attached first and then set my satellites. Have you recieved any guidance from Netgear or anyone else on this?

Can you change the channels of these speakers to use a different channel?
The wireless back haul is mean to be there for any RBS that gets connected via wireless. IT's how Orbi works and NG doesn't seem to respond to any other configurations regarding it. I presume it may come from the chipset Mfr rather then NG and chipset Mfrs implement how the wireless radios work. It's just up to NG to implement and imploy them in to there firmware.
Be if you can get the speakers to change channels if at all possible. Keep them far appart from the Orbi wifi.
