And now, none of my devices show as connected to the satellite, just the router. What a joke!

This is a known issue, but it's display only - assuming you are on firmware 2.1.1.16 - you should see some devices in the router as connected to your satellites - otherwise your firmware is probably not installed correctly and your satellites are not accepting connections. I would try to re-install the firmware in your case - follow the normal instructions - download both router and satellite firmware, unzip it and then install it onto satellites first - one by one - then on the router after the satellites come back (light on top goes solid blue and then out.)

See what lights mean here https://kb.netgear.com/31030/What-do-the-LEDs-on-my-Orbi-mean

 

Netgear are working on the not all devices are displayed issue and that will be fixed in the next firmware - but otherwise I am find 2.1.1.16 very solid. Uptime now for me is 4 days and 16 hours.

Whatever I had with. 16 it's fine now. I found it rebooting randomly, disabled circle ran a few days.. Re enabled it and no random reboots now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
