Edit:
Upon further looking, I do indeed have devices attached to the router as well as all 3 satellites.
So the problem is simply that the Router remains "not found" from Orbit app. I've deleted and reinstalled app without any benefit.

Have you tried deleting the Orbi app from your phone and re-installing? Is the phone on your WiFi and getting internet ok? Have you tried rebooting the router and all satellites, relaunching Orbi app?

Yes to all of those things. WiFi and Internet and working perfectly with 500MB down on phone speediest
Router & Satellites have been rebooted.
Phone app deleted then reinstalled.
After reinstalling phone app, I'm told network can't be found and router is offline

Have you tried enabling "Anywhere Access" in the Orbi app, that's the cloud symbol on the top left of the apps's Home Screen, then select Settings and it should be listed as an option to enable. I connect with anywhere access so I can manage my mesh externally.
Have you tried installing the Orbi app on another phone or iPad associated with your WiFi? I've got the Orbi app installed on my iPhone and iPad and both work ok.If this gives the same result then I'd take the option of last resort and reset the router to factory default and rebuild.
good luck!
