RBR50

Just noticed my Orbi RBR50 with 3 satellites is no longer showing the connected devices on the iOS app or windows.  All of the devices are still connected to the internet and work just fine.  I'm just unable to see what is actually connected as the interface says 0 devices.  Any suggestions?

 

 

  • "All satellites are closer than 30 feet apart" This would be one problem.If there too close there is too much wifi over lap. 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

     

    Try a factory reset on the RBR and setup from scratch. I would turn OFF The RBSs for this. Don't enable Circle or Armor. Once you get the RBR setup again, test the connected devices by adding 1 or two devcies to the RBR. Check the status. They should appear in the RBRs web page and Orbi app. Be sure your Orbi apps is up to date as well.

  • Have you powered OFF the RBS and RBR, then power ON The RBR first then RBS then see if the devices are populated? 

    Is Circle or Armor enbabled? 

    Is Daisy Chain enabled? 

     

    What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
