Wired ethernet backhaul connection does not show status on orbilogin site

Question

HiI Use the Orbi RBK23-100PES (1 router + 2 satelites)I connect the satelites using wired connection (ethernet backhaul connection)I first sync the system not using the wired connection, as explain on the forumsWhen the network synced, I see the satelites status OK on the www.orbilogin.com site on Attched Devices page&nbsp; (the site which hosted by the router, in my case on 10.0.0.1 IP address)&nbsp;After that i disconnect the satelites and connect them using the wired connection on the places i need to cover my homeI connect the first satelite and wait 10 minutes to sync(in the forums i see recomandation to wait 5 minutes between). I been able to browse throw this satelite, but the satelite is not shown as OK on the Attached Devices Page but disconnecetd. The IP and the Connection Type and the Connected Orbi columns are empty
It happened on both of my satelties&nbsp;I also do not see the devices which are connecetd throw those satelites on the web site&nbsp;Ideas?&nbsp;Thx&nbsp;

I believe you are in a double NAT condition with a router somewhere behind the Orbi.
&nbsp;
Are you able to describe precisely by make/model what is upstream of the Orbi (e.g. cable modem, switch, etc) and what is above that?
&nbsp;
Solution is there to get this working properly, but you will probably have options to decide&nbsp;

So that VR600 is indeed a modem/router combination.
&nbsp;
If you want to use your ORBI in router mode, you will have to put the RBK23 router between the VR600 and the Netgear Switch.&nbsp; (Using the appropriate in and out ports)
&nbsp;
You will have to also Bridge your TP VR600 which is described in detail here

&nbsp;
This would make the Orbi handle all routing functionality and wireless connections and the VR600 would only operate as a modem.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
You need to decide if this is what you want before doing anything else.

Modem Combo Units:Couple of options,1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&amp;app=desktop

Since your're using wired backhaul, please make sure Daisy Chain is disabled.
What wired devices do you have connected to Orbi?
Was the IP range 10.0.0.x selected by you or was it set by Orbi at initial setup?

Agree with&nbsp;ekhalil&nbsp;-- an odd choice for starting IP.
