I reset Wifi and made sure to connect to the specific satellite (ie. specific BSSID). The system now reports Good/Excellent.

I expect that to result in a long term solution.. ie. I’m not moving the Orbi satellites around… and I’m not moving the OS unit around. So with Wifi.Begin always choosing that one satellite (based on BSSID), that should do it.

I dunno.. might be worth a mention in the FAQ for people who have Orbi (or probably any mesh system??) .. ie. the user needs to pick based on combination of SSID and BSSID (it makes perfect sense now, but I have 30+ devices connected to my network and have never needed to think that way before). FWIW, I checked and Orbi doesn’t allow one to pre-select/associate an endpoint to a satellite.. the endpoint has to do the picking.

Other than that, I’m a debug freak and would prefer more verbose logging, but will take that back up in the logging thread I started 🙂

thanks!
