Disable the Arlo device, turn them OFF.
Do a factory reset on the Orbi router and have a wired PC connected to the router. Walk thru the set up wizard and give some new SSID name and simple password. Use something unique.

I've tried connecting to the satellite, but no luck. Still doesn't seem to want to connect.

Just to add on... so when i connect to the Satellite IP (when im on the network) - it says its emitting wifi, but nothing is connecting.
