Updated to V1.12.0.18, now Satellite will not sync, "Wireless AP: Off"
I just updated to V1.12.0.18, and now my Satellite will not sync. Everything was working fine on the previous version. I have power cycled both the router and satellite. Following this sugges...
So after updating to the latest firmware the satellites will not connect back to the router at all or is it just not showing up in the attached devices?

Hi Darrin,
I'm having the same issue with my RBK50.
Even after a factory reset, the satellites behave normally only until the next reboot... after which they no longer function as satellites. They show up as "Connected Devices" instead of "Connected Satellites" in the Attached Devices page. If you log into the satellites themselves, their status page shows that the Wireless AP is off for both bands (and no channel is shown), but the backhaul is shown as connected in the connection graphic.
I haven't tested to see if the ethernet ports on the satellite still work in that state, but the only source of WiFi once your Orbi reboots is the main router itself.
