New Netgear Orbi 960 owner. what are the optimal settings i should shoot for?
hey! i have an Orbi 960 system with 3 satellites. all of them use a wireless back haul to communicate with the main router. i have a 60-70 device network as well
if you were to give me the best suggestions on making this as fast and stable as possible, what would you say i change? i have left most settings vanilla only really giving the 5ghz network a short preamble. thanks!

Best thing is to try it as is first and see how things work for you.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

The only real thing I'd optimize is placement. Try moving them around a bit and speedtesting to see what provides the best coverage. Sometimes a lateral move can help more than closer/further if something in the wall is blocking.
