Can satellite WiFi be turned off?
I have two satellite Orbi with all the latest updates. I need the satellites to provide Wired internet connections. I do not need theml for WiFi coverage. Sonos says their audio systems not work with WiFi systems using Range Extenders, They say nothing about mesh - that said it is my understanding the Orbi system is technically not a mesh system. When I attempted to setup the Sonos, things were OK until I walked away from the Speaker. As I walked into another part of the house, the music stopped and my iPhone told me the Sonos was not connected to the network. I do know that iPhones will pick among signals to use the network signal providing the greatest bandwidth and signal strength - looking for both 2.4 and 5 GHz signals. It occured to me if I turned the WiFi from the satellites off, I might be able to get things working. Other suggestions/solutions will be appreciated.
