Nest Thermostat Batteries LOW on a new ORBI AX setup
I have a brand new ORBI AX wifi setup (RBR850 and 2 satellites) that i got configured and updated to the latest firmware (V3.2.15.25) about 10:00 last night with all nodes up to the version with a bi...
No.
Only thing I found was that with mine, being so close to the RBR, 5 feet, was having problems with the NEST. I found that when I moved the RBR away from the one NEST controller, 20-25 feet, the NEST controller started working with out draining the battery. Also was said that this is also a NEST controller issue as well that NEST needs to fix it on there side as these controllers ping pong back and forth on there own when there is more than 1 signal source in play, i.e. RBR and 1 or 2 RBS. Its also recommemeded to install the C power wire to your NEST from the main central AC system to help avoid the battery draining. You'll need to consult your systems mfr wiring diagram to find out which connection that is.
I bought RBK753S from Costco a month ago.
Then suddenly my Nest E battery started draining (I also don't have a C wire) after 2 years of perfect operation. I contacted nest, no solutions, so I went ahead and bought a new Nest Pro, assuming the battery had degraded over time.
The new nest is draining in 1 day, so I started going crazy troubleshooting it over and over.
Now I see this thread, and it all makes sense. The ORBI is killing my nest battery :(
So what can I do?
Firmware Version V3.2.15.25_1.3.15
I changed CTS/RTS Threshold (1-2347) to 2347
Now what? what do I do?
I spent a lot of money on this router, can someone please suggest a solution

Try FW version v32. Leave CTS values at default after doing a factory reset and setup from scratch.
