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.

Has anyone figured out the issue or have any configuration that works?
No, I don't believe any of us experiencing this issue have found a way around it with the Orbi AX system. I've read others that are doing what I'm doing - Run an old router with a separate wireless for our Nest thermostats.
Having to run an old router makes me sad. I opened a ticket with NETGEAR and there no help so far, they are escalating the issue to next support tier. I will post back if they have me try something that works.
