I run another brand of access points at another site and they provide complete information for each client: mode, TX rate, RX rate, channel, RF band, signal strength, uptime. It's frustrating how little information is available on the consumer stuff.
but that is the point , the orbi is a coustomer level device that for the most point ppl want to plug and play and dont care about whats under the hood , make it too complex and you start to lose the concept it was initially designed around , i still see ppl wanting ethernet backhaul which to me makes no sense to buy the orbi if you already have structured cabling in place

I agree on the wired backhaul. I think access points are a better solution to extend WiFi coverage if you have the wires. The reason I have the Orbi here is because I have no easy way to wire the house, plus I have a large property that can use longer reach outside.
I understand your point about keeping things simple. However, I believe Netgear could include more details on attached clients without making the devices any more complex to use. It's just information, not a setting to fiddle with.
