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.

Just purchased a rbr850, now my 3rd gen nest says low battery. Even if i give it a good charging manually, i am unable to connect via nest app. Nothing on wiring for nest has changed, I've factory reset the nest and tried all the google recommendations. I am also 30 feet away from router or satellite. Please fix this bug, yes i said bug. Let me know if i can file it as such somewhere.

If you want your nests then do yourself a favor and return the Orbi! This product should not be sold or have a disclaimer out there to the retailers selling.

This has been too long and no solution. Mostly everyone else here with this issue has returned due to the lack of support and resolution by Netgear.

Maybe amazon can get it right in thier upcoming Wi-Fi 6 lineup
