What are the recommended Channels and Channel widths for an RBR750 system?
Thinking about tweaking my system but it's been a long time since I've done that so what are the recommendations for 2.4GHz and 5GHz channels and channel widths. Simple home system, nothing elaborate...
Just looking to see if I can squeeze a little more performance out of my system. I just updated to the latest firmware for the 750 yesterday.
If you want to try some experiments, you could try
- channel 149 for 5 ghz
- channels 1, 6, and 11 for 2.4 ghz
If it doesn't make much difference, then I'd revert back to your existing settings.
Note the environment can change - depending on exactly what your neighbors are doing, and also you can get interference from other sources (bluetooth, microwaves, other stuff). Plus speed tests are going over your internet connection, and mileage there also varies.
So if one of your tests is giving "good enough" performance, then keep it running for a day or so, and periodically check the performance. When you do that, run a couple tests in a row.
Channel 149 can't be set on Orbi AX systems. Only channels selectable is 36 thru 48.
The higher channels are used by the BH system.
