Hola kongster,

Let me see if I have this right.

  2. Orbi as the router for the house’s ethernet system (unmanaged switch)
  3. Orbi as WiFi router;
  4. T-mobile 2.4GHz WiFi is turned off.
  5. every other SSID on the 5GHz channel with exception of SSID5 (turned off on T-mobile unit?).

So your t-mobile unit is not broadcasting any wifi signal?

So if you did broadcast a signal what would the speed be?

Thanks for the tip most useful so far.
