Nest Thermostat Batteries LOW on a new ORBI AX setup

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.
I put my 8 series back online last Sataurday using the following process:
Been watching my 3rd Gen NEST thats closest to the RBR. 4-5 feet. Have not seen the NEST go off line since. Just checked the voltage on the NEST and it's at 3.89volts. NEST is not power wire connected as of yet. Just wireless. Last time I saw the NEST was connected to the basement RBS which is wirelessly connected to the RBR on 2nd level. I'll keep monitoring.
Finally was able to get it working using the Guest SSID trick. Thanks so much for the tip!!!
