Satellite showing up as a device and not a satellite.
Setting up my new Orbi and while it shows that there are devices and one satellite connect, when I drill down the satellite shows with the rest of the devices and the section under satellites is bla...
Did the satellite show the synch colors for a good connection to the router and then turn off?
If that happened, then I guess you really won't know unless you get a wireless device to show up like you said on the attached devices, or better yet, hook up something with an ethernet cable to the satellite, even if its just a laptop temporarily or a nearby device like a game console, etc.
Good point, I realized that a satellite will take an IP from the main DHCP scope (even thought it should be on a sepertate radio so I'm not sure why they need to pull from the main scope). I never saw the color change, but watching the satallite and waiting for it isn't very user friendly. I'm trying to find some type of conneciton status to show the quality of the satallite connection.
