Pre Purchase Questions
Hi Folks,
I new to the forum so treat me gently!
Ive asked the same question on the pro forum as I’m trying to get the right solution.
I've been running a 6 disc BT Whole Home successfully for about a year. The latest firmware update has broken the system beyond repair for now. I'm looking for a replacement and although the Pro is for small business I think it might be a solution for my needs but I wanted to check some items I'm looking for are there when in AP mode
- through the Orbi UI you can see the list of clients connected to the Orbi
- clients connected to the upstream modem/router e.g. nas drive can be seen by devices connected via the orbi?

I have mine in AP mode. The Orbi app can see everything on the network, plugged into the Orbi or not. My pc is plugged into my ISP's supplied router and I see it on the Orbi app. I can see the other devices on the network from my pc, and the devices on the orbi can see the pc.
Not only the Orbi App, but also the Admin pages (via a browser on a connected device) show the devices connected and whether to the router or a satellite.

I just did some checking with a laptop connected via Ethernet cable to my RBS50 Satellite and I was able to map the NAS as a network drive and and access all the files.
My satellite is backhaul connected via WiFi and we're on a plan with 200 Mbps downlaod speed, and I'm getting 95Mbps on that laptop (i.e. over the WiFi backhaul channel).
