Question on channels using Orbi AX5400 (RBR760)
Hello everyone, I had a question regarding changing my channels on my wifi network. Just moved into our first home and I recently upgraded my router to the Orbi AX5400 RBR760 Wifi 6 bundle from C...
Reason that NH routers have those channels is that there not MESH routers. MESH routers use the higher channels for the wireless backhaul between the router and satellites. This is not user configurable and is used automatically by the mesh system. This is by design on ALL Orbi systems.
Probably to avoid interference problems with higher DFS channels and possible that some of the higher channels could be used by the wireless backhaul. Not for sure on that though.
