Yesterday I powered up the Echo Dot right beside the Satellite ... a day laterit is still working. Orbi says it is connected to the Router ... strange since it is right beside the Sat. Orbi status says that it is connected 2.4G ... probably what fixed the problem. Not sure how this happened ... just glad it is working. Next step is move the Echo Dot back to where I really want it located.

 

Strange that the Orbi Status also shows Sat connected via 2.4G ... not sure if it always said that, but I thought it didn't teypically use the 2.4G link.
