Associate Sattelite of Kit #2 to Router of Kit ~1
Hello I Have two Kits SXK80 K1 and K2 with 1 router and 2 satellites in each kit. K1 works fines in AP mode, K1 Router is connected to switch N3 on our network and the 2 K1 satellites are connected...
Hi
Sorry for the misunderstanding, but It's not a home network, but a pro network. It seems you have not opened the link in my previous post.
Click here to open my network diagram.
I re-explain the state of my network and the problem, sorry for my english
Actually
- K2 sat is not connected to network, and I never plugged K2 router (and I will not for my solution)
- K1 router is in AP mode, K1 router and K1 sat works fine actually
- ALL devices (connected to switch or connected to orbi) are in the same network 192.0168.5.x
- Windows server is the dhcp server to give IP to ALL device (connected to Orbi or not)
what I'd want is: to use K2 sat like in the diagram and paired with K1 router.
I reset K2 sat with K1 router connected like you said in previous post, but K2 stay with oribinal ssid, so not paired with K1 router. (K1 is still in AP mode)
I didn't really understood if it's a mandatory to set K1 router to Router mode ?
If it is, is it ok for all my network (IP, dhcp server...), I don't want make conflicts
If not, what I have to do to pair K2 sat (I tried reset yet)?
I'm lost
Thanks
Your diagram already mention firewall may be also has router function. Orbi Pro with AP mode is fine in this topology. Please forget router mode. What's K2 sat firmware version? Please make sure all are up-to-date, and check K2 satellite status in K1 router's attached device page.
Also, i see the is a looping within 4 switches, is the a design intent for link backup? Please make sure you enables STP/RSTP in the switch. Otherwise, looping issue will causes wired satellite sync failed
OK I forget Router mode, it's one of the things I wanted to know.
All Orbi are up to date with V4.2.2.130 version, I did this at the beginning.
Click here to see status of K2 Sat in K1 Router page admin
K2 sat is disconnected, maybe Have I to delete then reset K2 to pair?
Loop is normal, switch manage spanning tree and are linked with Fiber with 10Gb.
Yes. You can delete and make sure K2 satellite and K1 router in the same and wire network. They will automatically sync.
If sync in wired is still not working, please remove the cable of the satellite and see flashing white, take the satellite close the router with a few meters, push WPS button in router and Satellite to see if they can pair. If yes, plug a cable back to the satellite.
It's exactly what I did, the two steps !
wired and wifi with sync button, not success, K2 sat stays with original SSID and not paired (yes it's the same network)
I do it again to be sure, and I let you know
if it doesn't work, please PM me the satellite's debug file.
Put a cable directly connect to the satellite. The default ip is 192.168.1.250.
Go to debug.htm and click 'start capture' and save debug file.
Are you sure the router is US version and the satellite is also US version?
How to check?
1. Check router's country code is in US.
2. Check satellite's home page also show US.
