Why does this happen with my iPad and/or iPhone RBR850 and RBS850
When I move from the room my Orbi router is in to where my Orbi satellite is i get this a lot when I look at the connected devices. Anyone know why and is there an easy fix? It’s annoying!
I was going to add a photo but it appears I can’t. Anyway, under connected devices on the Orbi app sometimes it’ll only show a signal of 1 or 2 bars. Sometimes it doesn’t but it does a lot. Why is it doing that?

You can either "copy and paste" an image into the body of the post or you can save an image to a file on your computer and then attach it to the post. Without more to go on, there is nothing anyone can suggest.
What are you getting alot of?
How many RBS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
