Wireless Backhaul Status
I have an RBK50 (1x RBR50; 1x RBS50). Firmware 2.5.1.8. Running Windows 10. I have a Spectrum Internet modem feeding the RBR50. I've seen posts where people have commented on what their back...

I would power off the RBS that isn't appearing on the RBRs web page, bring it to the same room as the RBR and power it on and let it sync and check the status.
I did that about 2 hours ago the only difference was that Dasiy Chaining is enabled. Thought that wouldn't have an impact since I only have a router and one sat. RBS was literally across the room from the RBR. Same status - disconnected. I will disable Daisy Chaining and try it again in about 15 mins so I don't risk disturbing wifi.
Yes, disabling Diasy Chain will cause the wifi to drop temporarily.
If that fails, select the REMOVE button on the RBRs web page. Factory reset the one RBS that issn't appearing in the RBRs web page. After the top ring on the RBS is slowly pulsating, press the sync button on the RBR then RBS then let it sync. Check the status on the RBR.

Disabled Dasiy Chain.- no difference. The web page still shows disconnected.
Removed it from the webpage and factory reset it.
I synch'd once - showed good with the lights but not in the broswer (still disconnected).
Synch'd again - magenta
Synch'd again - blue; still shows disconnected in the browser but shows a satellite in the Orbi app.
Same thing in a different brower? IE11, FF or Opera?
...
Might try a factory reset on the RBR and RBS then try with syncing with just the one RBS. If you feel the system i working otherwise, you can run it as is...
Same thing in MS Edge.
Any idea what would "break" in the router or sat such that this would happen? Seems really odd.

Update: I put the router back in place and connected it back up. It sync's but it does not ever show anything on the backhaul status. Orbi app says it is connected via 5G. Webpage says there no satellites. However, the TV gets signal from the satellite as it is wired to the back of it.
Sounds like something maybe bad on the RBR...I would try a factory reset on the RBR and the 1 RBS that doesn't appear. Setup from scratch then add the RBS. Check status. Do this while the having the RBS near the RBR...
