Orbi and NEST
Anyone else have NEST devices and notice that they do not connect to the satellite? I have a house full of NEST devices and there are several that are way closer to the satellite but are connecting ...
I only have the Nest thermastat but it is connected to the satellite with no issues.
I have the Thermostat also, the latest version and several Nest protects. Not one is connecting to the satelite and most of them are way closer to it.
Ok i take that back the thermostat is connecting to the sat....but the protects are not.
As I have battery Protects, they only connect intermittently so I can’t confirm explicitly that they are connecting to the satellite. However given their placement, I am certain 2 of them definitely are. Bottom line, no issues with Nest thermostat and Protects and Orbi for me.

I have 4 Nest Protects and 3 Orbi satellites, I just checked and all 4 protects are connected to the Orbi router. But does it matter? As long as they have connectivity (and they do... they are updating and reporting OK) then all is fine.
No it doesnt matter. They are way closer to the sat though. Part of why I switched from my nighthawk ac3200 was because some of the protects were barely getting signal. Interesting that they are now at 100% signal....and they are connected to the router which is in the same place as the ac3200 was. They only got 30% signal with the ac3200.
