Unable to see device strength
I am suddenly not able to see the wifi signal strength in my orbi app or desktop url. What is the issue?

From the "Add a Profile" at the bottom it appears that you have Parental Controls enabled? (I have never enabled controls.)
This is fascinating. My app does not have "Home" at the top of the Devices panel.
When I installed this newer Orbi (i have an older model as well), I used the wifi icons to see where the best signal strength was when placing the satellites. With them greyed out, there is no way for me to diagnosis why my firesticks are dropping etc. I don't have parental controls enabled.
I am baffled as to why this has changed. I didn't make any changes to the setup, just plug and play out of the box.
Do you by any chance use Microsoft Excel?
