I stating having problems after adding the 3rd satellite wall plug in. I think I’ll lower the WiFi strength. Great idea.
I have 2 floors (25-30 foot ceilings from top to bottom) and around 6,000 sq foot of coverage.

How do you lower it? I don’t seem to have an option like that?
Log into the router's GUI. It's under Advanced, Advanced Setup, Wireless settings. There is a setting for both 2.4G and 5G bands.
- I was hoping I could lower power for the individual satellites. I lowered the 2.4ghz to 75%.
What is the purpose of doing that?Yes, you can only adjust power across the board, which isn't ideal. The purpose is to reduce the region where the signals from the Orbi and satellites overlap. When your phone or PC can see a signal from more than one AP, it can have a tendency to switch between them, causing temporary drops.
