Unfortunately, the WiFi signal for 2.4 GHz is so weak, my $300 RainBird Controller module does not pick up even at 100 Ft distance from the main router !!!! I have not found RainBird controller that works on 5GHz. Tried to call Orbi specialist multiple times, even bought another expensive outdoor Satellite RBS50Y for $300 to boost the signal. Orbi specialist could not even configure to the existing network. Need additional Satellite or Signal Booster for 2.4 GHz for the existing RBR840 router set. No one is able to help to resolve this issue even after spending > 10 hrs of my time !!!!
