Yes, my clients tend to connect to the closest satellite. (Verified using Android app "WiFi Analyzer".)

Try looking in the orbi set up page under "attached devices".

So you don't have a lemon then. Well I'm pretty techy when it comes to setting this stuff up and I've tried everything to factory resets to turning on each satellite sequentially.
