Orbi in AP mode with wired backhaul showing weird behavior
I recently set up an Orbi RBK53 system in AP mode (I don't need the orbi's router capabilities, as I'm using pfsense). The main orbi router is connected into a gigabit switch and one of the satellit...
My SSID does not have spaces in it. I just left the orbi device names as the default (Orbi Router, Orbi Satellite-1, Orib Satellite-2). So having spaces in the device names is a problem? If so that seems like an issue if those are the default names :)
But that doesn't explain why it only doesn't work if I'm wirelessly connected to an ethernet backhaul satellite. In all other cases it works.
I also don't have the problem from the other thread. All of my connected devices show just fine.

As mentioned in that post this seems to be a bug in the android software, but it seems it's not the problem causing your issue.
One other thing to check is to make sure that Daisy Chain is disabled as you are using one satellite with wired backhaul. This is another bug in the software that might cause some inconsistency. Please check this.
