Orbi 770s wheres the transmit power option?
The documentation says there should be an option to control transmit power. Number 1 rule of setting up wifi is balancing the power transmission. Just because my device can hear the router screaming...

Yes it was scrapped before launch.
Most of the User manuals are templates for all Orbi systems and not really tuned for each Orbi model. Ya they should be. Orbi AC, AX and AXE have the power controls which reflects in the UM. BE systems don't. I don't think NG will bring it back. Unless it's a major issue causing problems for lots of users, I wouldn't look for it to return.

Even the main netgear one still shows it in there. I've had the rbe773 since release and haven't seen transmit power controls

So seems to me this is an oversight that they need to fix.

Hello orbiisweaksauce ,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you would like to manage the transmission power on your RBE771/770. Unfortunately, Transmit Power control is not available on the Wi-Fi 7 Orbi Mesh systems.
Best,
Kevin
