Orbi sattelite wifi disabled?

LoboTommy · ‎2019-03-31

Hi.
I run Orbi netowks at home. I have one router and three satellites. One of them is only necessary to feed my main cpu with a wired link. Seems the wifi-signal coming from this satellite disrupts the mesh. Is there any way to disable one satellite from delivering wifi, and only work on the two cabled patches?

My setup: (Fiber 500Mb/500Mb)>FMG-3542(Bridge mode)>RBR20
Additional NG HW: 3xOrbi RBS20

Short answer, no. No capability to turn off radios.

The recommended distance between sat's/routers is at least 30'. What are yours?

Have you tried reducing power?

You can use telnet to disable radio in a specific satellite. This is an option if you want to go through this!

But I also agree with @Chuck_M that you should be able to control the interference by reducing transmission power.
