RBR50 Orbi set up per sattelilte provider

My satellite provider asked that I do this with my new Netgear orbi wi-fi System and I don't know how to setting the frequencies, channels, or power level.  Trying to get ahold of Netgear Support is nearly impossible.  Any help would be appreicated.

 

------As you are setting up your new Orbi please take into consideration setting the following WiFi frequencies.

2.4 GHz band: Use 2437Mhz / Channel 6
5 GHz band: Use 5240Mhz / Channel 48

For either one of these connections, please use the channel width of 10 MHz, or, at the most 20 MHz.

The power level can be what ever level you need to reach all points within your home.----

Here's how you change your wifi channels.

in terms of the 10/20, it should be 20/40 coexistance. here's a thread with some info on it. I would leave the 20/40 coexistence box checked. it drops you back to 20 MHz speeds should 40 MHz be detected. Here's a thread with a little more info.
