Can my orbi physically locate its satellite
I can't find the satellite which the router information says is connected. Can the Orbi physically locate the satellite for me? Is there any other method of locating it or do I have to buy a new one...

I'm confused. You have a satellite connected but you can't find it?
Does it say if its connected wired/wireless?
You could always try using a wireless scanner and walk around and test locations. The signal strengths will at least give you a general idea.
- marksaMar 28, 2022InitiateThanks. Yes, it shows as connected wirelessly but I can’t find it.

I would try using either a laptops or a phone and download a decent wireless scanner.
You can use the rssi strength to get to its general vicinity. then it should just be a matter of checking outlets or if there's POE ports.
