RBR850 wired network but app shows that satellites are connected via wireless

I have a relatively new setup with 2 RBS850 and 1 RBS750 connected via ethernet to the RBR850. The android Orbi app is showing that the satellites are connected via wireless rather than wired, whereas the web portal correctly shows them as wired. The android app used to show the satellites correctly but that has recently changed. I've rebooted to router a couple of times but that makes no difference. Devices seem to be working okay. Any clues what is going on?

Firmware is current 4.6.14.3

  • It could just be the app. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen it display stuff wrong after an app update. If its correct in the GUI, that's what I'd trust and just ignore the app.
