RBK 50 transmit power control
I have an RBR50 + 2 satellites with the latest firmware. Moved homes - have a 1 Gbps internet connection. The apartment I moved into is smaller than my earlier multi storey house. I get 500- 600 Mbps...

Thanks for the response. My current apartment is a bit more than 2200 sqft and I have a router plus 2 satellites. Many walls though :-). So just one satellite won't work. I used the orbi app to detect signal strength from the router before placing the satellites. I have good wifi coverage but it is too sticky when moving between satellites. So was thinking of reducing transmit power to see if the switching of roaming devices can be seamless. Hence the question to experts in the community .

Its worth trying.
I'd also check to see if you have it setup in a star configuration or daisy chained.
Star: satellite<------router----->satellite
daisy: router------->satellite-------->satellite
