Orbi SXS80 meshing with router in stead of first Orbi?
Hi, I have a site with 2 Orbi sattelites and 1 router, where I want the first Orbi to connect to the router as the distance is ok (-60dB with WiFi speed up to 700mbit) and the second Orbi to conn...
Hmm looks like a software thing that could be added?
What other tweaks are there to make sure im getting 100% out of these products?
I now have these settings (its not a very dense WiFi environment):

You can adjust some factors like broadcast signal strength and distance between units.
the hardest part is optimizing it isn't a simple, "this is what works best". Because of different environments/setups/home/building designs, different locations/signal powers could cause better results. You actually need to test the speeds.
When I first started going with a mesh setup, i tested a different layout each week and during the week, I'd try different broadcast strengths. It let me know the optimal placement of my satellites in a 1x/2x/3x satellite arrangement. I don't have to do it anymore but whenever I change setups, I have a rough idea where to place them.
