Re: Orbi RBR50 with Setellite

What Firmware version is currently loaded? 

V2.5.1.16
 

Is the RBS wirelessly connected to the RBR? 

Yes

 

Do other wired devices get internet services thru the RBS? 

Yes

 

What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected

35-40 ft

 

Being that the RBR is in AP mode, if it is, then the modems router will and should be passing internet services thru the RBR and to the RBS.
