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.

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...
