i even plugged satellite directly into router (provider device) to exclude any broken wire / plug issue, no luck.
The satellite cannot be connected directly to an ISP device. It must be connected to the Orbi router (RBR50).
Does the satellite connect correctly over WiFi?
Why it can't be connected via ISP service?
I guess I try to build this schema. Same worked for previous appartment

My ISP router has WAN and LAN ports. I both Orbi head and satellite are connected to lan.
Anyway, satellite and head Orbi are just 5 meters away. I even tried to place them in 10 centimiter distance, no luck. Satellite doesn't work

That article clearly shows satellites connected to the Orbi router, not to the ISP device.
An Orbi satellite will connect to the Orbi router in only two ways:
- Using a 5G WiFi connection (the default)
- When connected to one of the Orbi router LAN ports.
hi, this I don't fully follow...
Please have a look at the third configuration, RBR and RBS connected via switch.
My config looks this way:
INTERNET

telia_router
lan_port_0 lan_port_1

RBR RBS
why it wouldn't work?
