Nothing connects to my Orbi satellite
I was told to purchase this so everything wouldn’t be on the same router and my speed would be better. I have had it for 2 months and nothing connects to the satellite. The satellite is on a different floor, I can see that it is connected to my network. But 15 devices are connected to the main router and nothing to the satellite. I am having speed issues and connectivity issues.

- Could you try temporarily connecting an Ethernet cable for wired backhaul between the router and satellite to rule out connection issues between them?
- So I should bring the satellite to the main and connect with a cable. What do I do next to see if there is connection issues between them?
On my app,
I can see both the router and the satellite.- Would it be possible to leave it where it is (or where you would prefer to have it) and use a long cable?
