Let me first say that there are many things I like about the Orbi. It range is unparelleled ant I have coverage frond my three units not only in my house, but in my shop and over most of my 6 acre property. The stability has been great and adding a new base was a non event.
I was extremely vexed by the inability to monitor traffic by device, but the need was driven by my poor and limited internet connection.
My solution away anything but elegant. I switched internet providers from pathetic AT&T DSL to SpaceEx Starlink. My band widths went from 3 Mb to 300 Mb overnight.

(70 ms vs 30 ms with wired)
While a little pricey at $400 base sytation and $99 per month, it allowed me to keep my investment in my Orbi system.
