Could you please be more specific about where in the app and web interface WiFi signal strength previously appeared?
I can see signal strength in the Orbi app in the WiFi Analytics panel by scrolling to the right.
Do not recall ever seeing WiFi signal strength in the web interface.&nbsp; On Attached Devices there are 'bars' that do not reveal much.
&nbsp;
Thanks

To the right of each device is the wifi graphic and they are all greyed out. It appears that I am unable to add the screenshot.

One of the most annoying 'features' of the Netgear forum package is that images placed "in-line" using the Photos icon in the menu bar above are not visible to others until approved by a forum moderator, whereas images "attached" using the Browse button in the lower leftr are available immediately. There are few moderators, so sometimes this takes hours (or days).

I was grumbling about this to my son who works in a corporate environment and he exclaimed, "Daaaaaad. It would be potential suicide if you open a web page and suddenly your screen is showing inappropriate material that anyone walking by might see and take offense at.&nbsp; Sure way to get fired.)&nbsp; If you have to click on a link to put something on the screen, then you did it deliberately."
&nbsp;
I still find it frustrating and wish they would just take the Photos icon away.

Oh, look.&nbsp; There it is. A screenshot of the Orbi app!
&nbsp;
From the "Add a Profile" at the bottom it appears that you have Parental Controls enabled?&nbsp; (I have never enabled controls.)
This is fascinating.&nbsp; My app does not have "Home" at the top of the Devices panel.
