RBR750/RBS750, disable radios on satellite
Good Day, I have run into issues where my satellite radios are interfering with the wireless backhaul. I am looking for a way to disable the Wifi radios on the satellite but leave the backhaul up...
You'll either need to reduce the power on the RBR to 25%, Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Or turn OFF the RBS since you may not really need it.
Seems like there maybe a different problem here.
What brings you to this idea?
Disabling Wifi on any Orbi system is NOT supported. By design the wifi is enabled 24/7 for it's intended design. Front haul radios are needed so wifi devices can connect to the RBS and thus the back haul used for data flow back to the RBR.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
How many RBS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?️
