Blue Light Orbi RBS50Yv2 But Not on Map
My Blue Light Orbi RBS50Yv2 was working yesterday and has been a couple of years...
This morning it didn't show on my Map...
Firmware is V2.7.3.22
I have Orbi Router RB50...
2 other satellites shows in the map with the router...
I have a blue light on Extender but not showing on the map;
What would be the next steps to complete the connection
In orbi mode, its the devices themselves (your phone/tablet/etc) that choose which to connect to.
And give it some time. It sometimes takes device a while to swap. Try going to that location you wanted coverage and see if that device connects/switches to that satellite.

Not sure what you're referring to with "blue light". A little better description of whats going on might help.
Are you able to access it through its ip address (find it in the attached devices list)
I did the setup of power to the Orbi Extender:
Power plugged in and did not turn it on...
Held the Sync Button and pushed power on/off button...
Power came on...
Continued to hold sync button until white to blue flash a couple of times...
Then released the sync button..
It went through several flashing blue...
Then blue stayed on steady...
I checked my app and router shows and two other satellites that I have shows up and are working:
But nothing on the extender shows up...
But the blue light on extender stays solid blue...
Orbi Router is RBR50
Orbi Exstender is RBS550Yv2
This had been working for about 3 years until this morning...
Map usually showed Sat. 2 connected to extender with great speeds...
Thanks Doug
Sounds like you switched it to extender mode.
