Hello RDSp,

I had deleted and reinstalled the Orbi app on both devices with no change in the Network Map.

Factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch using a wired PC and web browser. I would complete the setup wizard with out the RBS connected. Once that completes, sync each RBS 1 at a time to get them connected. Check the RBRs web page connected devices section first in a web browser. Then check the orbi app.
