ORBI RBR50 IOS APP
I have a Orbi RBR50 and 2 Orbi satellites connected to it. When i go into the IOS Orbi App view the Network Map, the Orbi RBR50 and 1 satellite is has a green dot below it. The second Orbi Satellite has a orange dot.
I would like to know what the orange dot means on the second Orbi Satellite. There are devices connected to the second Orbi Satellite and internet is good. I just want to know if orange means I need to do anything.

What FW is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Try disabling the following and see:
MIMO, Daisy Chain, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s).
If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually.
