Re: OBRI CBK43 Mesh and AT&T U-Verse 5 MHz channel conflict

I just bought and installed the ORBI CBK43 - Mesh system with a base and 2 satillities (RBS40, 2 - RBS20). However, they system is interferring with my picture on my AT&T U-Verse receiver/TV. My AT&T receiver is wireless and it uses the same channel that the ORBI systems used as it backbone community between devices - 5 MHz, channel 157. My neighbors is also using this channel with a moderate reception in my house. How do I get ORBI to search and find a free channel or how do I redirect it to use a free channel. Most the other 5 MHz channels are unused looking at a Wi-Fi analyzer. There is no problem with the channel Orbi is using for my devices so I don't need to change that. Thanks for your help.

I solved my problem by changing wla_hidden_channel instead of wla_2nd_hidden_channel per the recommendation in the post I was directed to. I found this is a different post.

Re: OBRI CBK43 Mesh and AT&T U-Verse 5 MHz channel conflict
I went to the link mentioned. I used the config get/config set and config commit commands. The config get shows that my config set worked and the new channel is 108. I also tried and used channel 149. However, in both cases I did another config get and verified my 2nd hidden channel has changed when viewed using Telnet. Nowever, my ORBI RBR40 and RBS20's are still using channel 157 when I look at a wi-fi analyzer. Do these devices use a different hidden channel I need to change beside or instead of 2nd_Hidden_Channel?
