Tried and it shows my devices were connected to the main router(Rbr20). After that, I unplug the lan cable and it shows ''orbi satellite'' again.:manfrustrated:
- So when you had the Ethernet Backhaul the devices showed as wired to the Router? What type of devices do you have: wired or wireless, any difference between wired and wireless devices' behavior?
- I guess you're still on Orbi SW 2.2.1.210. Can you please upgrade to next SW (2.3.0.28) and see if this will make improvement.
This is how I see the pictures that you post as pictures, I think it's waiting for a moderator to approve them:
Please post them as attached files instead!
Here's the photo, plesae take a look at it.
You mentioned that you did factory reset, have you done factory reset for the satellite? Most probably you could fix this by factory resetting the satellite (NOT the router please).
Otherwise if you want to go the "easy" :) way, then please print the following parameters that will show what information the router has about your satellites:
- Enable telnet on the router (from the http://orbilogin.com/index.htm page of the web interface)
- telnet to router
- After loggin in, run the following print comands on the command line:
- root@RBR50:/# nvram show | grep sate_default_name[0-9]
- root@RBR50:/# config get satellite_online_num
- root@RBR50:/# nvram show | grep satellite[1-9]
- root@RBR50:/# nvram show | grep sate[1-3]
- root@RBR50:/# nvram show | grep 'orbi_dev_name[1-3]='
-
root@RBR50:~# cat /var/current_satellite_list
-
root@RBR50:~# cat satellite_mac_list
I have factory reset the satellite. Can you show the process? Many thanks!
