SRS60 Ethernet only and turn off wifi
I have an srs60 satellite very close to the router since I need to to give Ethernet access to my home camera. However, I find that the satellite interferes with the main router given the close proximity, so I want a way to turn off wifi on that satellite only and just keep the Ethernet.
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.

- aalrashidAspirantI can’t move any of the locations as I’m limited by wall ports. Any other ways such as buying 3rd party hardware?

Put in a longer LAN cable so you can move the SRS farther away from the SRR.
Check to see if there is a transmit power option on the SRR web page. If you see this, set it to 25% power. Mabybe under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings?
