"Sony has just released firmware update M40.R.0445 for the HT-ST5000 that promises "Improved connectivity with wireless subwoofer".
From what the other poster mentioned.
Can try turning down the power output of the RBR from 100% to 50% and see.
Orbi back haul is not user configurable. Channel 108 is restricted in the US and falls under the DFS channels.

I have the RBR/RBS850 Orbi system as well as a Sony HT-ST5000 wireless soundbar. The same issue is described in the link below. Is there any other suggestions? I live in an apartment complex and setting the soundbar to the lower frequency also causes issues. I am trying having the WiFi set to 50 percent and changing the soundbar to different channels in the 5.2 GHz range, but keeping the soundbar in this lower frequency tends to cause issues with the wireless connection to the subwoofer.
netgearIt would be nice it you would finally support the option to change the backhaul frequency. It appears that it does it in different regions, but alas, you guys locked it in the US to a higher frequency that other devices utilize as well. The previous solution was to set the frequency to 108 for the backhaul utilizing telnet, but I get that you guys may not want to allow telnet to be enabled. At least allow for the backhaul to be changed. I don't think some of these frequencies, like 108, are restricted in the US.
