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.
Firmware V 3.2.16.9
Home is 3600 sq ft.
I have the CBK752 setup, so RBR has the built in DOCSIS cable modem.
Thermostat is about 12-15 feet from RBR. The router and satellite are approx 30 feet apart (RBR is on 1st floor of house, RBS is on 2nd floor)
I'm sick and tired of messing around with settings. Customers shouldn't have to go to this level of ridiculousness to get a simple IoT device to work on a premium piece of networking hardware.
How do I get the V22 firmware? Is it applicable to my unit? My app says firmware is up to date.
This morning, after my thermostat went offline yet again, and I charged it yet again, I was able to walk it out to my garage and get it to connect to the 2.4Ghz band. I went to LAN setup to try and do an IP address reservation to get the Nest to permanently stay connected to 2.4G as advised by Netgear tech support during my 1.5hr phone call with them yesterday. I have my 5G Transmit Power Control set to 25% and the 2.4G set to 100%. I then walked back inside the house and placed the thermostat back in its base. A few minutes later it reconnected to 5G.... I'm done.

My 2.4G channel is Auto and 5G is 48.
The CTS/RTS is 64 for both 2.4 & 5G.
