Thanks for responding. That is certainly a disappointment. One would have thought that with such a high internet speed that WiFi7 (802.11be) would have been faster. Just as an 'aside', does the Orbi Attached Devices page indicate when devices are connected using WiFi7? Or, perhaps Windows displays some sort of indication?

I did not notice..... and the Orbi770 is already packed up and sent back.🙄 I reinstalled the 860 and ordered another satellite to give us that boost outside that I was looking for.
