Orbi Home Wifi & LA Crosse Weather Station/Alarm Clock 2.4GHz required Resolved!

I could not get my Orbi to connect to my Lacrosse Weather Station for two days. Then I simply walked with my phone down the basement to where my Orbi router is and stood within one foot of the router.  Used the Lacrosse App and was connected within 15 seconds.  I have great coverage with my Orbi and one satellite. Honestly, it is probably overkill in my small ranch style home.  Why going right next to the router is a solution when I have great coverage all over my house makes no sense to me but it worked.  Hope that helps.
