Orbi AC2200 Tri Band RBR-40 w/2 RBS20's
I have the Orbi AC2200 Tri Band Mesh system with 2 RBS20's. I had an older nighthawk router before this. I had no issues with the nighthawk but wanted to upgrade and extend my wifi range with the mesh...
I would remove the check box and apply the setting. The RBR will reboot. I would power OFF the RBS for 30 seconds then back on.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
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 RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
What is the distances from the house to the barn?
What Firmware version is currently loaded? V2.5.1.16
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Our ISP (Cirranet) provides you with a POE device only. It's what I had the nighthawk plugged into and also have the RBR40 plugged in to it now. There is no model or serial number on it. Would it be best to plug my Nighthawk back in and connect the RBR40 to it?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? Living is 4000 sq ft, under roof (garages) is 5200 sq ft.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. One of the satellites is right around 30 feet from the RBR 40 and the other one is probably closer to 40-50 ft. We have no insulation in the interior walls at all. So just wood framing and sheetrock.

What is the distances from the house to the barn? The barn sidewalk and our backporch sidewalk connect. The house and barn itself are maybe 10 feet apart.
Sorry! I answered in color but it didn't add my colored responses.
Do you have Daisy Chain enabled on the RBR?
Is the RBS placed out in a line from the RBR or are they on opposite sides of the RBR?
Was checking to see if your ISP modem had a built in router is all. I think your fine here.
I will have to check on the Daisy Chain after I get back to the house. I can only login remotely from the app on my phone and I don't see that anywhere on there.
The RBR is located in the center of the house. One RBS is located to the left down a hallway and in a bedroom, and the other is located to the right of it down a hallway and in my office. This is the one that is a little further away from the RBS.
Ok so I'm not sure if Daisy Chain is enabled or not. When I look at attached devices it shows both satellites and says that are connected to the Orbi Router. Is that how it should be? I'm sorry for any dumb questions, this mesh system is completely new to me.
nder Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings on the RBRs web page,
Daisy Chain to see if there is a check box that checked which means it's enabled...
