Orbi App Device Signal Strength Misleading?
I have an RBS850 Satellite (the model options above doesn't have the latest products), connected to an RBR850 router. My computer is inches away from the satellite and showing a strong signal. If I go into the app and look at the devices it says my computer has an moderate signal (2 of 3 bars). Does anyone know why there is such a difference? The same thing happens for my iphone (strong signal on the phone, but moderate on the app). Thanks.

What firmware are you running as the latest RBR850 (Orbi Router) Firmware Version 3.2.17.12 fixes a lot of GUI and app issues. However, I find the app doesn't show signal strength very accurately.
