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 intro...
Yep, it's there :)
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!
I just checked the satellite and it is showing as magenta, but when I check the status from the Insight app or the orbilogin.com page, it shows connected and having clients.
Is this perhaps an issue where the satellite is working but showing the incorrect status with the LED?
You're able to access the satellite using its ip address?
Usually if the satellite is showing magenta, it means it was unable to connect.
Maybe its a vlan issue? Not sure exactly what you have setup for your switchings/routers for vlans.
Bummer, the original satellite went magenta. I had to disconnect one of the satellites, and things are working again. I've confirmed that I still have Wireless 1 on the Default VLAN profile.
Regarding my setup:
Fiber Modem > EdgeRouter X (VLAN tagging enabled) > Orbi AP
I also don't have the guest profile enabled.
I had previously ruled out the EdgeRouter X issue as this same problem was occurring in AP mode with the EdgeRouter X entirely removed from the equation.
