How to know which Orbi a device is connected to?

I'm trying to debug and optimize my Orbi installation. How can I know whether my iPhone or computer is connected to the main Orbi vs the Orbi satellite?

Try this:

 

1.  log into Orbi and and click on Attached Devices

2.  click on any device name to enter Edit Device screen

3.  click in device name box

4.  press the <enter> key on your computer

 

For me this brings up an alternate listing showing devices connected to the router and each satellite.

Thanks very much for this. Very helpful.

 

Not sure why Netgear makes this so counterintuitive and hidden.

      Log in to what? Computer and type in browser?

       

      I'm not clear where to do this.  Can you expand a bit?

    Doesn't work for me.  Just goes back to native listing.
