Orbi - why can't we change channels on satellites?

Wireless design best practice when installing multiple access points in an area is to have non-overlapping channels. So if you have 3 APs (RBR50, 2-RBS50) in an area, for 2.4 GHz, one AP would be channel 1, one would be channel 6 and the third would be channel 11. Same goes for 5 GHz - all 3 units would be on different channels.

 

When I look at the WiFi signals, all three units use the same channel in 2.4 and 5.0. This degrades WiFi performance, especially if the units are too close together.

 

Why can't we change the WiFi channel for each unit? It would be nice if we could also adjust radio power on each unit
