Orbi not connecting to wifi

My devices are not connecting to Orbi satellite. My devices are stuck at "obtaining ip adress?" I have my PS4 and my sonos connected via an Ethernet cable to this same satellite and they work perfect. So is not that the satellite is not getting signal from the Orbi, but rather there seems to be something wrong with Orbi transmitting the wifi signal. Would making a static IP address or perhaps setting up a dedicated channel on the satellite work? Or is there another solution to this problem?

  • try setting the ch number manually and check / remove the rememberd ssid and passphrase from the client devices and then re assioate and see if they then connect
