Annoyingly, none of the FAQs address this at all. https://support.directv.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4250/~/directv-wireless-genie-mini-faq
I found something on the web saying it is 802.11n and 5 GHz. Nowhere in this training presentation do I see anything about setting the channel on the wireless video bridge: https://www.satinstalltraining.com/dtvutransfer/WVB_C41W/final/WVB_C41W_PRES_FINAL.pdf I know that WiFi routers set to AUTO will usually be stupid and go on the same frequency as the WISP CPE if they don’t detect an SSID. So I’m getting a bit worried. And of course indoor equipment almost always uses outdoor 5 GHz channels because of the higher xmt power allowed. Not sure if that means I would be better off using the 5.4 AP even though it is a 430.

Perhaps power line adapters that then transmit in 60GHz?

What does this mean in terms of interference? I assume this is different than what we typically see with coax to the receivers and WiFi or MOCA only to connect to their Internet. Will DirectTV install their own AP? Is this going to be 5 GHz WiFi? Any way to keep it from stepping on our tower-CPE frequency? What about the WiFi router, if we install a 2.4 GHz only router will they leave each other alone? I have a choice of a 5.4 GHz 430 AP or a 5.7 GHz 450 AP to connect them to.
