Interference with Vehicle Backup Camera
I have anOrbi 750 with 3 satellites around the house. Approx 2500 sq ft house on one acre. Router in one corner, satellite in another corner, satellite in garage (in a triangle configuration) and one...
I have tried setting my router away from Channel 11 and it has since made both cameras work properly. I think that Garmin should include that the BC50 is also on Channel 11 of the 2.4 Ghz band.
And they should have known this in all the communications that we had because I mentioned it to them in our correspondence instead of me finding out here.
Thank you to all that responded.I will closing this thread.
If the backup camera and Orbi are set to 2.4G channels that are far apart, they should not interfere. The Orbi app has a feature called WiFi Analytics:
scroll right to find;
- A page that shows every WiFi channel found and what channels they use
- Another page that shows how many WiFi systems are using each channel
Once you find which channel the backup camera is using, set the Orbi to a channel at least 6 away.
p.s. Is it correct to assume that the backup camera communicates directly with a display inside the vehicle? Does it work correctly everywhere except in your driveway?
Thank you for the information. Yes, The backup camera is an after market unit that goes to my GPS. And it does work everywhere else. I appreciate the input.
