Any of you know of a dual or tri-band home mesh network where we/customer can control frequency and channel width in -each- band? Many of our customers use Orbi's and Google WiFi. They seem to work well avoiding landing on our SM's frequencies, until they land on our SM's frequency. Usually a reboot fixes that. That gets old to us and customers.
We have a situation now where the backhaul link of a 3 unit tri-band Orbi mesh keeps landing on our SM's freq of 5.785Ghz. We have no way of locking freq or channel width down for the backhaul link. Anything connected to main router works fine, but devices connected to satellites get a few Mbps and horrible ping and jitter due to interference to backhaul link from our SM. Their sons were giving customer hell because of the lag on their Xboxes. Customer had to keep rebooting Orbi, for it to just happen again, and again, and again....... Right now they have both satellites unplugged and covering house with just the main router. Pings and jitter are excellent, but they are not getting the speeds they should at edges of their large home (40Mbps package).
Looking for 3 unit mesh in the $300 price range. Need a fairly good feature set as well (parental control, roaming, MU-MIMO, beam forming, QoS, etc). The biggest thing is for us to be able to lock down channel and channel width for all bands mesh network covers.
Thanks for any suggestions.
