Orbi 960 and LIFX Bulbs
Latest version of firmware on Orbi.
Latest firmware on the LIFX bulbs
iPHONE 14 on WIFI - all the lights were initialised a year or so ago on a 2.4 ghz network so they are initialized correctly. ...

I did that for ONE of my down lights - yesterday - with the old settings it would not join.
With the new settings it joined this morning -
SO... I REALLY hope that I do not have to do this to 30 lights that require me to get on a ladder 30 feet in the air to rejoin them all.

If this is the problem (remembering MAC address of the AP), then I'm afraid you have to do that! 🙂
Please monitor this on one or two of the devices and then decide what you want to do. 🙂

I don't think that is the issue - now that I have changed the channel, and opened the CTS stuff ALL of my WEMO have come back on line and almost all of my LIFX bulbs.
So I am getting closer.

Does anyone know the pattern of wireless connection that come out of the 960s?
Is it a sphere? an umbrella shape?
Is the signal strength a sphere around the unit or does it begin in a cirle around it and only go up like an umbrella?
Meaning -
If I put my main router in the attic will it give me a good connection to satellites that are slightly below it inside the house 30-40 feet away or do they need to be at a peer level?
