Really pissed off at netgear
I have an Orbi mesh system that I bought not too long after they were introduced and until recently I was in love with it. But this love affair quickly came to an end when I was installing a Honeywel...

Thanks Furry.... That is finally what I did. Well...... I had to drape a piece of foil over the router and unplug both satelites to force my phone to connect to 2.4 ghz. I am now having a problem getting the stat to sync with the phone app but that isn't a Netgear issue. Still frustrating that Netgear built the router with ability to enable different power levels and not 0% power. incredibly mundane to have to jump through all these hoops to accomplish a simple task. But....I'm just getting old and grouchy.

Its how it goes. Most router mfrs don't have a 0% power settings. Some may have a disable feature on non MESH systems. MESH is different and more complex so some things your used to on non MESH Routers, may not be seen on MESH systems.
Good Luck.
