Orbi SXR80 with 2 Satellite Bundle Connection Issues
I’m having the same issue as outlined https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Pro-WiFi-for-Small-Business/Orbi-SXR80-with-2-Satellite-Bundle-Connection-Issues/m-p/1997302#M2537
In short, when I introduce the 2nd satellite, one of the 2 satellites turns magenta. It’s inconsistent which one, and the location doesn’t seem to matter. I’m running firmware 3.3.0.122.
The router is in AP mode with VLANs enabled. I had the same issue with it in router mode.
Any ideas on what to try?

Yep, it's there :)

are you using a wired or wireless backhaul?
Make sure wireless 1 is using the default vlan.You can change it for the other ones but it uses wireless 1 for backhaul connection.
Oh interesting. I am using Wireless backhaul, and for whatever reason, Wireless 1 did not have the VLAN set. I just set it to VLAN 1 (the default).
It seems like devices are connecting to it, but I just went to check the 2nd satellite and the light had turned blue after running for about an hour (which means it has a good connection, but I'm not sure why it would flash blue again).
I'll let it run the rest of today and report back what I've found.
- Good luck!
