Orbi RBR 50V2 Satellites Not Connecting
I have an Orbi RBR50V2 and three satellites. They were all working fine until recently, but now two of my satellites won't connect. They give me the magenta circle of death. I have not moved the ...
Found the file to update the satellites. In the process now.

Yay!!! They all appear to be working now, back in their original locations!
You're the best!
Thank you.
Yeah as well!
I really wish that NG would autoupdate users that are running the v2.5.0.x releases to v2.5.1.8 rather than everyone having to manually update the firmware to fix the v2.5.0.x issues they created with that buggy release tree. They retracted v2.5.0.x from being autoupdated after numerous users reporting issues, but that left any users with broken v2.5.0.x firmware on their systems.
Oh, dear. Back to magenta on both satellites.
Now one is good and one is magenta. I'll reboot a time or two and see what happens.
One is good and one is good when I move it closer to the router. All three of my satellites look good on the orbi website. I'm afraid the solution may be that the one I had to move closer may just have to be closer, but I really need it in its original location to power a security camera.
What about daisy chain? Can I force it to daisychain with the one satellite that was never an issue? If not, maybe I'll have to buy a fourth satellite. That's not my preferred solution, though.
