My ORBI RBK53 router has a different network name than my RBS50 sattelites
After a complete factory reset of my RBK53 router and my two RBS satellites my router has a different network name than my two sattellites. So I have now two WiFi networks and both working fine. How...
My router has indeed the same login and password written on it as the sattelites that came as a kit.
I changed my router to a different network name and password but that was not passed through to the sattelites.
I also changed my router to AP mode, but that has probably nothing to do with my problem?
Thanks. That is a relief to hear that the factory did what it was supposed to.
How are the satellites connected to the router?
- Using the default WiFi connection?
- Using Ethernet cables?
(If so, are the satellites connected directly to LAN ports on the back of the router, or are all of the Orbi units connected to an Ethernet switch?)
- My satellites are connected by an Ethernet cable and switches.
What CAT# lan cable are you using?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ethernet switch(s) in the configuration?
