Orbi RBKE963 no connection
Today out of nowhere, both my satellites lost connection to my orbi router.
I tried for hours to reconnect them, even resetted one of the satellites, then both, and eventuelly I also resetted the router.
Tried to connect via iPhone over the initial WiFi connection. iPhone connects fine but the App does not find the router.
I'm desperate and slowly start thinking that the sh.. it broken.
Any ideas for troubleshooting?
