I'm really bummed that the wireless backhaul channel is non-configurable. There are two devices that are close to my house that cause interference and renders my wifi network practically unusable wh...

OK, I will try that. What a pain. I hope that once the speakers have picked and then Orbi has picked it will all stay put and not move. I will try it and get back you. :)

schroederboat what issues do you have with wireless backhaul? Please describe the issues you're facing... :)

I am still having the same issue I have always had. Get the clicking noise sometimes when I use teh speakers. As you can imagine the satellite is always on so anytime I turn on my speakers it is trying to fight for the channels the Orbi is running at so I get the clicking noise.
Therefore, as before I turn off and turn on the speakers and i believe it fixes things.
Hope someone has found a better solution.
- RonB223Jun 13, 2020AspirantFacing the same issue. Have a Nakamichi Soundwafe 7.1.4 unit with latest updates. The sub is cutting out playing music every few seconds due to interference in the back haul channels used on my Orbi solution. I have model RBR40 from Netgear running firmware version 2.5.1.16. I’ve enabled telnet, entered the commands listed above and rebooted.
Nakamichi refers me to: https://www.helpdesk.nakamichi-usa.com/subwoofer-audio-distortion
This link doesn’t help. When I reboot my Orbi solution with audio playing, my routers keep picking a conflicting channel with the sub. Getting really annoyed.
I’ve thought about returning the Nakamichi unit but doing research Sony and a few other wireless sub solutions also can have interference in this upper frequency range.
I must have a solid way to disable the higher frequencies for backhaul or to pin it to a particular channel so I can experiment with the best one that interferes the least.
