Transmit power adjustment
Is the antenna power adjustable on either the Orbi RBK852 or the Nighthawk RAX series? Thank you.
Yes on both.

Thanks for for the information. Strange that Netgear does not include the "Advanced Wireless" menu in the User Manual.
Also, it is important to realize that (a) transmit power applies only to the "user facing" WiFi radios, and not to the "backhaul" channel. Users who connect satellites with ethernet are often interested in reducing the backhaul WiFi signal (or removing it entirely) and are disappointed that transmit power has nothing to do with backhaul. and (b) reducing transmit power applies to ALL radios. i.e. reducing 2.4G signal to 50% reduces the router and every satellite user facing 2.4G radio to 50%.
Ya, possible that feature wasn't in when Orbi first intro'd and the user manuals are still based on first intro and should be updated. :smileyfrustrated:
