On this point, my empirical evidence appears to differ.

Try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% and see if this changes anything. This changes ALL radios. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireles...
I would agree, of course, this all applies to the 50 series Orbi system for sure. Orbi AX seems to be different.
Would love to see some data. Would not require a Heat Map (I just like the pretty colors and that I don't need to write anything down.)
Use any WiFi tool to record the RSSI of the backhaul signal from each Orbi unit (the access points that do not broadcast SSID) at several points in the house. Maybe in the same room as each access point plus somewhere not very close to any of them.
Drop the Transmit Power to 25% and repeat the measurements.
Even used AX routers are too costly on eBay for me to purchase a box full just to play with.
