Client Isolation between Router and Satellites?
I upgraded to an Orbi Router (RBR50) and two Orbi Satellites (RBS50) to get coverage for my house, and the backchannel speed is as great as advertised. That said, I am running into odd network issues...
Sounds like some progress. I have Acrylic WiFi on the PC and inSSIDER on the PC and Mac. On the Android, there are several choices. "WiFiAnalyzer" from VREM Software Development is recommended by many and seems to work OK.
Most of these apps will indicate in some way which AP your device is connected to.

Thanks for this information. I tried both Acrylic (which had several malware/browser hostage issues) and inSSIDER. Definitley liked the inSSIDER. I was able to walk through the entire house, testing for dead spots and watching signal strength. Very nice tool.
Based on the data, I have no dead zones in or around my house.. and the signal strength throughout the house stays between 21&38... which is very good. its great near the RBR & 2 RBS's. It still doesn't give me the information if devices are actually connected to them and using them to get back to the router.. only that the RBS's are producing a great strong signal.
THanks again. Very very helpful
