Disabling WiFi backhaul when using Ethernet backhaul
I have been using the Orbi RBR-50, along with the RBS-50 Satellite, for a couple of years with no issues. However, I recently bought the Sony HT-ST5000 soundbar, which hasn't been playing well with t...
Unfortunately the wireless back haul can't be disabled or turned off when using the RBS connected via ethernet. I presume one reason is that the RBS needs to maintain a signal with the RBR should the ethernet connection fail or become disconnected.

No idea why NG handles it like this. Don't see any change in this in near future either. Same is being seen on the Orbi AX as well.
