Former TP-Link DECO Customer switched to NETGEAR Orbi

[jtw1156]

My product that I used to have was the TP-Link DECO M5. It included the Network Optimization tool in the app that is provided with it to download to your smartphone. The network optimization tool lets you intelligently scan your network to find the best network channel and to clean up the network from devices that are no longer connected. I changed to the Orbi because I felt like it was a better product (Still do), but the Orbi app does not have a similar tool. I have searched everywhere, and I am guessing NETGEAR does not offer it.

If anyone knows how I can resolve this or what I can do, please let me know.

Thank you, Jesse Williams

Netgear's Orbi product includes similar features:

The Orbi 'app' panel WiFi Analytics has several pages for looking at the WiFi space (swipe right)

By default the Orbi remembers every device that has been connected to the network in case the user enabled Access Control.  That way, devices which have been "Allowed" in the past will be remember when they show up again.  The user can clear that table using the Orbi web interface.

Hello jtw1156,

Thank you for your post!

I will discuss the addition of a network optimization tool that locates the best network channels and cleans up the network from devices that are no longer connected further with the team.

Best,
