Thanks for your reply!
Yes, all 4 satellite are appeared to be working correctly on ORBI web interface (192.168.1.1) and i have tested to confirm that.
All showed as "wired and good"
no devices showed connected with any satellite, i think it is a bug even i wired connect a laptop to the satellite, it's still showing connected to the RBR50

I would tend to put this down to, "the 'app' is stupid. ignore it."
Although... sometimes I connect directly to satellites using their IP address and look at the "Connected Devices" on the actual satellite.
(I remain annoyed that the router has "Attached" devices and satellites have "Connected" devices. Does NO ONE pay attention to details?)
Sorry about the rant. My bathtub will not drain and I am going to have a house full of plumbers tomorrow tearing holes in my drywall.
