Netgear Orbi satellite RBS50 can't sync with router RBR50
I have RBR50 router, two RBS50 backhauled with the router, and another RBS50 in the garage wirelessly connected to the router due to the difficulty of wiring to garage. Somehow, when I check the sate...
Over 60 feet maybe too far, try 40 feet.
What network setting do you have set?
Reset helps to clear out any misconfigurations and lingering prior FW code.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected
Can you sync the RBS near or while in the same room as the RBR?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
Thank you for the reply, FURRYe38 .
When I have them installed, it was all good. Worked as expected in the same room, all turning blue. After I moved the satellites in their respective locations (Definitely more than 30 feet, it is probably over 60 feet in between any two of them), they showed up on the network map as well. Don't quite remember since when this happed.
I just updated their firmware to the latest last night before I post here. Have not done any factory reset as it would wipe out my network setting as I presume. What is the purpose of this?
