AP Mode Vs Router Mode
My satellite will not sync in AP mode. Only when Orbi router is a "router" it syncs. Firmware v 1.12.0.8. Do I need to update the firmwares? Tried several times in AP mode with the satellite...

Yes that is a really old firmware but you need make sure at least the router and the satellites are on the same version of firmware.

Thanks Darren.
Yes both units are running on the same firmware v1.12.0.8.
If I update to the latest firmware version, will it fix the sync between the router (in AP mode) and satellite?

Yes, update the firmwares of both satellites and router.
Make sure you download the satellite and the router firmware.
Update the satellites first and then the router after satellites come up.
be patient for them to come up and sync. If that does not fix the sync issue there is help on this board about re-syncing using the buttons.

Ok thanks for the advice.
I will update both firmwares and see if that syncs in AP mode.
