Devices not switching between Orbi Router and Satellite
I got the Orbi system when it first came out and it has worked perfectly and I was amazed how my devices switched from router to satellite (and back) as I walked aroung the house. Yesterday, the sys...
You probably need only the router plus one satellite to cover your home. You said it works from across the street, so that should indicate you have more than enough (probably too much) coverage.
if your devices get the throughput they need, then there is no problem. However, you should probably turn your radio power down, especially on 2.4G. This will help devices switch to the strongest satellite. It will also be considerate of your neighbors, who will see your Orbi as interference.
With that many Orbis, you could also consider turning off 2.4G, assuming all your devices are 5G capable.
I see.. Did you perform factory reset after the FW update? There were some instances that a hardware shows strange behavior after an update, resetting it may be necessary :-)
No, I did not do a Factory Reset. I did do a "reboot" which helped, but not the Factory Reset.
