lack of knowledge/understanding
greetings, I have an AT&T modem...trying to increase effectiveness in a fairly large home. I have plugged in three orbi's. One to the modem (RBR40) and one in an outlet about 15 feet away (RBS40) ...
I can get it reset, but cannot get it to sync.
when syncing the satellites are they supposed to be close to each other and then moved to locations throughout the house, or are they supposed to be synced from the location they will be operating at. none of these are really far form each other...RBR at the at&t modem, RBS40 only about 10 feet away, and RBS 20 about another 15 feet on the other side of the wall.
one more question, after syncing how can I tell if they are working, or keep working, individually. The RBS40 is syncing but not the other.
sorry, one more thing, the ring light on the rbs20 never changes color, just flashes white the whole time
sorry to be so erratic here...i did locate the app on my phone so I can tell which ones are working and I am only getting signal from router and 1 sattelite
moved the rbs 20 closer to router but still not syncing...is the designation '20' significant. I do notice that sattelite is a lot smaller than the RBS 40
ok, i'm guessing the rbs 20 is just a bad piece of equipment. Moved it to wthin about 6 feet of router and still can't get connection.
