Orbi 960 Placement
I have the Orbi 960 and two Sats. My house is 3200 sq foot built in 1996 (all dry wall no concrete). I have had connectivity issues and speed issues for months. Recently, I decided to unplug both...
I know. I read that. I deleted my App and reinstalled it. So far I cant find an example but I am certain it was like this. I'll screen shot an example if I can find one. Some devices that are connected do not show link-speed now.
Most users tend to place the base unit (RBRE960) where the Internet Service Provider (ISP) device is. If you are able to relocate that device to a radically different place in the building, you are one of the "lucky few".
There is certainly no harm in reducing the Transmit Power to see what effect it has. (Not much effort required, either.)
It might be helpful to have a description of what sort of issues you were (and are) facing.
I have several Roku TVs. They often lose connection or slow down dramatically. I have Wifi cameras inside and outside -- same issue. My kids have tablets and when they move around (downstairs living room to upstars bedroom) often it just hangs until i re-boot it.
I can probably move my Router and Modem to my Garage where the cable comes into the house. This is one absolute corner -- let's say South West......North East (2 floors up) and I then put a Satellite. I need covered to extend outside for my outdoor Wifi cameras.

"it" as in:
- The tablet hangs until the user turns WiFi off and back on?
- The tablet hangs until the entire WiFi system is powered off and back on?
Mostly it recovers if I reboot the tablet -- however there have been occasions where it only works for a brief period after I reboot the tablet and I'm forced to reboot the router.
