Orbi RBK852 - Selection of 5GHz channel 36
New owner of RBK852. According to the app WiFi Explorer the 5GHz channel in use by Orbi is 40, despite being set to 36. I changed it to 48 and it is correctly displayed in WiFi explorer. Set it back ...
Thanks. Latest firmware. With my old RBK40 Channel 36 was correctly set and reported by WiFi Explorer.
Can you maybe download WiFi explorer Lite and let me know your findings?
Ok, I see this, though I'm on a older version of FW. I see 48 when I set 48, however, when i go back to 36, channel 40 appears.
I would open a support tickect regarding this please.
Ok, thanks for your swift reply and for confirming.
Cheers

Follow-up... I reported the issue, ticket created.
In the reply I received, they explain me how to change channels, that not all channels are available in some countries, and that I should not change channels unless I am facing wireless interfernce......
What an answer and support!!! :smileywink:
