What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Be sure RBR and RBS are loaded with same version of FW.

The devices I have hard wired to the satellite (smart tv, xBox) work just fine, but I cannot connect my Wireless devices. When I pull up the orbi app, the base connects when I’m close, but when I’m closer to the satellite, the app only says router not supported.
Any thoughts?
