Missing features from Orbi App

Question

I m using RBKE963 with Firmware Version 6.0.3.88 and the Orbi App Version 2.18.1.3. However, I don’t see the Analytic features of channel selection and signal strength in there. Do I have to pay a subscription for these features? As per the threshold, is 1500 enough for the 6GHz. I m now using S21 Ultra for war game. Hoping this will out perform RAXE500.

Analytical Features are only available on pad mobile devices in some cases. Not supported on mobile phones.&nbsp;
There are free Analytical apps for Apple and Android.
&nbsp;
What is 1500?&nbsp; Is this the size if your home?&nbsp;

WiFi Analytics appears on the Android app on my mobile phone.

Maybe for the 50 series...I presume it depends on Orbi series and phone as well.&nbsp;
Analytics isn't seen on my iPhone though it's one my Android pad.

Let me guess, NG is using WiFi Analyzer instead of developing a full app. This is why Apple devices don’t get the features of signal strength and suggestion of channel selection. On the iPad my choices are WiPry and WiFi Advisor which both of them require a purchase of detector.

That could very well be the case. Netgear certainly did not write their own speed measurement software, instead using Speedtest by Ookla. Android does not have the same restrictions on accessing underlying technology as Apple.&nbsp; There must be more than a dozen "WiFi Analyzer" programs for Android.
