RBR20 Satellite working or not

Hi,

i recently added another Orbi RBR20 to my Orbi network. It didn't work the first time so I had to try it several times. At the end it looks liked it worked. However, I am not sure.

The new Orbi shows up as Wired connected and backhaul status as good. This seems to be corrected since I have added the new one using ethernet cable. However if I am using the iPhone app the new Orbi doesn't show up. Deinstalled the app and reinstalled the app.

 

I have serious doubts if the new Satellite is actually working. If I am checking the connected devices no device is connected to the new Orbi. I also think that I am not having an increased range.

 

Anyway to check if the new Orbi is actually correct added to the mesh?

 

All Orbi's are on 2.3.5.30 firmware.

 

Juergen

    If you added a router to an existing Orbi network you should see the new router as a separate system in the Orbi app under “Your Products”.
