Please provide more 5GHZ wifi channel options - restricting to channels 36-48 is too limiting
I live in London in the UK and nearly every house nearby has wifi and growth of 5GHZ routers is growing rapidly - the WiFI explorer application on my Mac is picking up at least 13 wifi signals on cha...
Furthermore, I can see that my Orbi system is always using channel 108 for the backhaul network.
I have a neighbour who also has an Orbi system and I can see that his system also uses channel 108 for backhaul and I see that his signals are quite strong at my house (RSSI -71 and -80 dBm).
I'm sure that our networks are distrubing each other and I think this is one of the issues that makes my backhaul not stable.
It should be wise that Orbi either automatically chooses a free channel (there are many other unused channels to choose from!!!) or let us choose a channel (probably not allowed to be selectable in certain countries).
