Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, they're in the same garage, just 1.5 car widths apart.

I also have Chamberlain door openers. My garage is on its own circuit so I can toggle the circuit breaker for the garage and these all reconnect to the nearest satellite after a power failure or Orbi reboot. Shame netgear isn’t listening to these forums. Does anyone know if Asus AiMesh has this capability?
