RBK53-100UKS Orbi AC3000 Tri-Band with Router and 2 Satellites - not working
I have tried and failed to configure my Router and 2 satellites today, and returned, frustratingly, to my old equipment. The two main problems have been: 1 Unable to configure one of the satellites...
Ethernet connection of satellites is expected in future firmware, but no information on when.
If you have Ethernet wiring to the office, then a wired access point would be best out there.
With a distance of 30m, I expect you will have a very difficult time finding a solution that allows you to move from house to office without dropping a call. Doing this would probably require some sort of outside AP to bridge the gap. Your phone would have to be smart enough to handle the transition gracefully also.
Good luck.
Thank you again for your help. An important feature I need is to be able to go from an office to my house without dropping a mobile call. The office is 30m from he house and doesn’t seem reachable be ‘air’, hence Ethernet cable installed. I was hoping Orbi would support this, but given that it doesn’t support cable between Router and Satellite, and the apparent reliability problems, I will need to return Orbi sadly and look again.

I have accepted this as an explanation and solution to this thread, and so have returned my Orbi's to the shop pending a solution that will work for me.
