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...
Netgear... I payed over £300 for this package and I constantly get my Sky Q WiFi mesh system interrupting with the Orbi’s mesh system. Purely because the Orbi currently has such limited channels and in consequence it is constantly clashing with the Sky Mesh system!!!!
The only way to get around this is to lower the 80MHz to 40MHz on the Sky Q so the 5GHz channel is away from the Orbi’s 5GHz channel ; however this just slows down my Sky Q system and becomes a real pain to me and my family.
As also mentioned by other users, the Orbi backhaul interrupts with my neighbours Orbi backhaul and they clash.
For a high end system I really did except the Orbi to have more 5GHz channels!
Please add channels between 50-70 as this would make many user’s experience much better and make the Orbi more attractive! Sadly I’ve currently been advising my friends not to get the Orbi for this very reason!
I would do something otherwise you will lose your USP.
Please take action!
