Does my plug in orbi extend the range off the router or the other satellite?
I bought the orbi plug in to extend the range in my house. Does it extend off the router or the other satellite? Also it lists the devises on each satellite but the signal strength is low on the devic...
We have about 5000. The router is in the basement with the first satellite on the main floor. So way more than 30 feet! The plug in is on the 3rd floor in the master again more than 30 feet. All my devices with the exception of the tv in the basement and the tv on the main floor are connected to the first satellite. Nothing is connected to the plug in in the bedroom except my wifes cell phone! I cant figure out why the master tv and google mini and any other devices wouldn’t be pulling off the plug in to have a stronger faster signal.
What FW version are you using on the Orbi router?
Try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually. So take the check mark out of the box next to Daisy Chain. Apply the setting and reboot the router and then power off all satellites for 1 minute. Power ON the first satellite nearest the router first and let it come to ready. Then power ON the plug and let it come to ready. Might check the satellite 1 to see whats connected to it. Hopefullly you might see the plug connected to it instead of the router.
Some devices may just connect to the satellite and not the plug be too close to the plug.
