Orbi PRO SRK60 satelitte different wifi details than router
Hi I recently purchased the Orbi PRO SRK60 with one satelitte. I am currently using a technicolor dga2231 modem/router and POE switch provided by my ISP. I've tried setting up the Orbi Pro using ...
Thank you for that information. They will appear as a different WiFi connection because it is set on AP mode. This will provide its own SSID and will still have the seamless connection working. May I know if the router and satellites are running on the same firmware version? If not, please update the firmware to its latest version.

Welcome to our community! :)
It seems you are having issues with the Orbi Pro. May I know if your ISP does provide you a router already? If it is a router, then you can just set the Orbi Pro as an access point. But if you want to use the Orbi Pro as a router, you may need to set up the other router in bridge mode.
Orbi App is not recommended to be used for Orbi Pro and it is compatible only with Orbi Home. I suggest using the Insight App to access your Orbi Pro.

Hi JohnC_V
Thank you for your reply. I have changed the orbi router onto the ap mode and I am now able to access the network devices; however I'll also have a look at the bridge router.
The main problem I'm have right now is that, when I am using both the router and satelitte, they are appearing as both wifi connections. I have changed the routers wifi name and password from the default settings, but the satelitte is still showing up with the default settings. I have looked on the orbilogin.com page and the insight app, but i can't find anywhere to change them. I have also tried resetting the satelitte but it still keeps the default settings.
Kind Regards
Benjamin
