after this minute, the satellite gets the magenta solid state color. connection lost and i have to disconnect the powerline from the satellite.
I use Powerline to connect two Tivo units to my RBR50 router, specifically the TP-Link PA9020. Connected like this:

Works fine. The Orbi has no idea there is a Powerline unit. All it sees is ethernet.
I have never connected Powerline to an Orbi satellite, but cannot imagine it would be any different.
Do you sync the Powerline units before connecting to the Orbi?
