RBK53 Orbi satellites...no devices show connected
I have the CBR40 modem/router combo set up in the family room where the outside cable comes into the house which is on one end of the house. I have one satellite that I had set up approximately 25-3...
Thanks!
I just recently updated the satellite FW after this post to the newest hoping it would help.
My house is 3200sqft. Two story with a partially finished basement. I have the router in the family room near the side of one house and the satellite is in an office which does require it to get a signal through 2 walls which I wouldn't see being a problem given the purpose of a satellite.
I already had beaming enabled but enabled MIMO and seems that most devices are connecting to router even though closer to satellite. I tried fast roaming but some devices were switching back and forth which caused a bad connection when connecting to satellite so I turned off.
A dedicated channel for the router seems to give a better signal to devices but didn't help from satellite.
My next move will be to move the satellite to new location with less interference from walls or moving to basement to get a wired connection. Will post updates.

What is the distance between the base router and satellite?
if you temporarily turn OFF the base router, do your devices connect to the satellite? Then turn back on the base router.
