ORBI RBS50Y RBS50 Needs remote controls
Seems like a simple software add? What is up with the lack of remote controls for the ORBI RBR50 series? I have two RBS50Y in active use... Mounted up high and not a easy task to work on. However...

The Orbi app controls control things that are possible and that matter on a router, including a reboot.
If you are talking about stuff outside the router, like the mains power, there's not much that you can do by remote control.
This comes up when people want to be able to restart a device that has lost power in their absence. Hard to think how you could do that when the connection dead.
For for the RBS50Y why is there not a Temp monitor? as They for SURE DONT LIKE THE COLD.
That makes sense. I have a cheap weather station in the garden with a temperature sensor that reports local conditions.
But what would you gain by knowing that the satellite is too cold? Not much you can do.
By the way, a better place to talk about Orbi issues might be here:

When it comes to ideas for new features, that also has its own bolthole:
