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 satell...
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."

Also prior to put the satellite in the garage i could get a slow speed on the garage about 40, i put the satellite in the garage and it synced fine and i did a speed test from my phone and got 340. i used the orbi app and saw my iphone was the only thing connected to it when i did the test. so i know it's synced and working out there.
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

In California these days, the building code requires that garage door openers have a "battery backup" that will open the door a couple of times during an electrical outage. (Mine is old, and does not. I can reach the 'emergency' strap if I need to.) If yours has no battery, then you could have unplugged the garage door opener, count to (some number), then plug it back in and see where it connects. The Ring doorbell is harder to "power cycle" because it is probably wired to the bell power supply in a closet somewhere.
