Full 5 GHz channels on Orbi AX (RBK853)?
I noticed my Orbi RBK853 only has 4 5 GHz channels listed: 36, 40, 44, and 48. How do I enable the additional ones? The Wi-Fi Analytics feature on the Orbi app is recommending channels 132, 149, or 161 to minimze intereference but I don't see those options. Are those channels hidden and how do I enable them? Telnet?

Neither: Wireless backhaul is using the higher chanels for it's 160 MHz backhaul - fronthaul is always using the low channels only.

The wireless backhaul is not user configurable.

Even if i'm not using wireless backhaul? My satellites are connected via wired.

Yep. Can't do that. Been like that since the start. I think one reason is that they want the backhaul up and running in case the wired connection goes down or the user disconnects, so the RBS and re-establish the wireless backhaul automatically.
