I have been having nothing but issues with this mesh setup. I have a typical 2020 smarthome with about 80+ devices (bulbs, FireTV, cameras, speakers, assistants, phones, printer, etc) and even with 1 Fire TV streaming, I see more lag than I did with my Asus Mesh (AC68U) with just one mesh node compared to the 3 Orb nodes. I've read that this mesh network can handle 40 devices (250 max) before you experience slowdowns. What I can't seem to find is this:
Does the RBK750 support OFDMA? Is it 40 connections PER NODE or total? Is there a way to have the nodes handoff clients based on signal strength to a particular node? Where are the finer firewall settings?

Does the RBK750 support OFDMA? No. Is it 40 connections PER NODE or total? I don't know for sure. There should be a balance however depends on placement of the RBS from the RBR and each other. Wireless clients pick and choose where they connect too. Wifi Mesh doesn't do this. Is there a way to have the nodes handoff clients based on signal strength to a particular node? No. Where are the finer firewall settings? No.
