Thanks for the reply, but I'm still lost. I have a Surface so I connected an ethernet cable from the docking station to Satellite 2. How do you set the IP address on the computer to connect and get to the configuration page? BTW Satellite 2's top light is a solid white light that doesn't go out...Thanks

I never tried to connect to satellite without the router, but please try to set the IP address manually on your Ethernet port settings in computer to say 192.168.1.20, then use a browser on your computer to browse to the default IP address in the Satellite which is 192.168.1.250.

Still unable to connect. Also tried connecting to the network with ethernet cable and looking for the MAC address which I did not find. Does anyone know the significance of the white light on top staying on constantly?

Solid white. Your Orbi satellite is powering up.

Yes, I know. The question is what is the significance of the light staying on constantly. It never starts blinking or never goes out. Therefore it never gets powered up? Does that mean the satellite is defective?
