RBS850- Disable 2.4Ghz on ONLY a Satellite?
I have 2 RBS850 (Orbi WiFi 6 Satellite AX6000) satellites connected to an RBR850 router. The router and both satellites are broadcasting 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz bands. One of my RBS850 satellites is close e...
No. All Orbi units broadcast on both 2.4G and 5G channels.
The most common recommendation would be to set the Orbi 2.4G channel as far away from that speaker 2.4G channel as possible. 2.4G WiFi is unfortunate in that the 11 channels available (in the US. 12 or 13 elsewhere) overlap so much. Generally, 5 channels apart is enough to avoid interference.
Channel 1 will not interfere with 6,7,8,9,10,11
Channel 2 will not interfere with 7,8,9,10,11
Channel 3 will not interfere with 8,9,10,11
Channel 4 will not interfere with 9,10,11
Channel 5 will not interfere with 10,11
Channel 6 will not interfere with 1 or 11
Channel 7 will not interfere with 1,2
Channel 8 will not interfere with 1,2,3
etc.
