Further Reduce the Transmit Power in Orbi
Model= RBK40-100UKS
Firmware Version 2.2.1.210
I just bought the RBK40, and even though I changed the Transmit Power to 25%, I still found the signal is too strong and cause me headache (My ...
I have the RBR50, so I am not 100% certain that this applies to the RBR40.
Using the web client, "Advanced Setup-->Wireless Settings has settings for Transmit Power Control.
The Transmit Power Control setting can only go down to 25% that is already my selection. But the power is still too strong and cause me headache. I need to find a way to reduce further.
You are correct. I didn't pull down the menu.
It might be helpful to give more explanation of "headache". I have RBK50 (which I believe has greater maximum power than the RBR40) with both the router and satellite set to 100%. We routinely use mobile phones & tablets (both Apple & Android), laptop, and printer within 10 ft. of the Orbi with no isues. (Often within 5 ft.) Our Nest thermostat is literally 3 ft. away from the Satellite and security hub is in the same room as the router. None of my devices seem to be bothered by being close to the Orbi's.
I mean I got headache in my head. I can feel the "signal pressure" when I turn on the router or off.
