Client Isolated Between Router and Satellites

Hello.  Can someone help me figure out what setting i need to change so that clients can communicate between orbi devices (satellite to satellite, satellite to router, and router to satellite)?  I have two kids that play minecraft, and forwhatever reason, I cannot get them to join if ipads are on different orbi devices.  I am on firmware 2.1.4.10.  I have also had issues getting two Xbox Ones to see each other.  One is wired to the router and one is wired to the satellite.

  • Yes ive been noticing the same behavior.. devices sometimes dissapear then reappear. Meanwhile these are hardwired devices connect to the satelite... sometimes if I have devices only connected to the router, and am connected to a satelite I cant see the things connected to the router =( idk its weird lol. I think its another bug.

      I hope it is just a bug.  I just tried turning off fast roaming.  Maybe that will help.

       

      I saw another thread with the same subject, but it seems like their resolution was to change it to an access point instead of a router.

       

      Has there been any discussion of a feature that could be used to force a client to disconnect?
