Orbi Router and WiFi Channels

[DESIi1]

As far as assigning WiFi channels I only see that you can set the router, with 2.5GH default set to Auto and 5GH Set to 48.  There is no way to set the Satellites.  My WiFi analysis programs show that all 3 2.4GH are set to channel 5 stepping on each other.  The 5GH are all on 48.

This make no sense, is there a solution?

Firmware is 1.4.0.16

Hello Desli1

I do not have any info on that but it is a great suggestion to post on our idea exchange board.

Hello Desli1

You can not control the channel of the satellite separate of the base it will follow the same channel as the base.

Staying on the same channel goes against everything ever said about how to tune your network.  Do you plan on having the Auto Channel function seperate the channels in the future?
