I have a NAS connected by Ethernet to the main Router and I'm unable to see it on the network from a satellite or even connect to it via it's IP Address in a web browser. I can't see anything connected to my network other than what's on the same satellite.
Does the Orbi web interface, "Attached Devices" show the IP addresses for this computer and the NAS in the same IP subnet (such as 192.168.1.x ?)
Yes I see all devices listed in the Orbi Web Interface with their corresponding Satellite or Router indicated. After looking further I think I'm only having this issue with Satellite 2. When I'm connected to Satellite 1 I do see my NAS that's connected to the main router.

It is so frustrating when a problem exists that should never happen. Deleting, doing a factory reset on the satellite, and readding it is not nearly the amount of effort as resetting the router. I would probably try that. OR.... if getting to the NAS is required from only one location, swap the satellites?
