For what its worth, on the iOS App, neither Sat is showing as a Satellite, just as a connected device.

It seems that your satellites are not correctly synced with the router. Please use a paperclip to reset your satellites as follows:
- Make sure your Orbi device is powered on.
- Using a paper clip or similar object, press and hold the Reset button until the Power LED on your Orbi device blinks amber. Note: If you're resetting a wall plug satellite, the ring LED blinks amber. Your Orbi device is reset.
Then sync them again by pressing the sync button on the router and satellites, one by one.
