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.
Noticed that my Orbi 4200 auto updated FM to V3.2.16.6 couple days ago. I tried changing my CH to 11 and 48 like someone in the thread suggested. After this new FM and CH update my NEST thermostat lasted 16+ hours until it died. So it’s still an issue :(
Has anyone figured out the issue or have any configuration that works?

What is the distance between the RBR and RBS? 30 feet or more is recommended.
What is the distance between the NEST controller and the RBR and RBS? How close is the Nest to either unit.
What CTS value are you using on the RBR? 64?
Is 20/40 Coexistence enabled?

- Distance between RBR and RBS is 30+ feet and RBS is down stairs.
NEST to RBR is about 5 FT and to RBS 25+ feet. I have tried moving them around and no luck.
CTS : 64 and I have tried other values as well (500, 1000, 1500, 2222, 2347)
20/40 Coexistence: Enabled
