Please provide more 5GHZ wifi channel options. My neighbors all have overlapping 5GHz networks. The whole poitn of soeming 900+ Dollars on 3 Netgear Orbi mesh network was to not have neighbors slowing down my channels. Restricting to channels 36-48 is too limiting. it is really when you think of spending over 900 dollars you really need more technical options. Back in 1983 there were a few IBM XT and AT that hit the market and memory optiosn grew and grew from 1 MEg to 10 Meg and so on. WIth so many mesh network features, it really holds you back to have the same few 5GHz channels as everyone else. You are killing perfomrance with a reallyh simple thing, Channel Interference. Your Orbi App for monile phones whos clearly all teh neighbors stepping on the few channels i cna select from. Pelase provide more channels so your product is not so shackled with lmiting overlapping networks. Provide more network options for 5GHz so that your networks are faster, please. Pelase make a firmware update that allows more 5GHZ network so that your networks are faster please. Greatly appreciated.
