Obri RBR50 and 1 Satellite?
Hello, I have a router in the house and a satellite in the garage. nothing connects to the satellite and everything goes on the router. i would like the items in the garges to connect on the satellite but not sure how to make this happen. i have a wifi garage door opener in and a ring stick up cam and that is the purpose of the satellite in the garage. they are both on the same firmware v2.3.5.30. i have attached a few settings if that helps, maybe they are wrong.
please help

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Is the Orbi system operating in Router or AP mode?What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.Are devices close to the RBR then the RBS?
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Try enabling MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings. You might try turning down the wifi power on the radios from 100% to 75% or 50% to test this out.
Try disabling the following and see:
IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
Over all client devices will determine where they connect too, not the Orbi.

i might had the wrong number of the model its the Obri RBK50. most items are in the house. i put statellite in the garage for 2 items
Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
when i change the 2.4 channel to "6" i get this message "Per Wi-Fi Alliance guidelines for 40 Mhz and 20 Mhz coexistence, even if you select "Up to 400Mbps" mode, your product’s service rate might drop to 20 Mhz. This typically corresponds to 192 Mbps performance."

Are my pictures that i attached settings ok?
i just put the one from the garage in the up stairs so now i have one on the first floor and the second. again how do device connect to both not just one?
wonder what i am missing
It could be that the router "powers up" first and devices that are actively looking for a connection see the router and connect before the satellite has come alive. One test is to reboot a device in the garage and see if this time it connects to the satellite.
The satellite IS showing a "good" connection to the router, correct?
