Overlapping two Orbi systems
HI folks, How does Orbi handle interference both on backhaul and user wifi if two systems are close to each other? I have a scenario where two seperate networks are next door to each other bu...

Both ORBI's are connected to a border router in a Y-configuration (Seems like way overkill but the rationale behind this can be found here: https://www.pcper.com/reviews/General-Tech/Steve-Gibsons-Three-Router-Solution-IOT-Insecurity
So far seems to be OK, but occasionally I'm having some trouble getting consistent speeds on the newer 2nd set of RBR/RBS50. I will keep u posted here. So far I set One rotuer to channel 1 and the other to channel 11. I'm hoping the backhaul channels auto-steer.

sorry but rational thinking and that man and his web site are worlds apart , all you achieve is dual nat
you have heard of vlans ? far better and less messy way to go and just as secure

but vlans are far better imho
