Adding a new Orbi Satellite RBS850
Hi all, Apologies if this has been answered already somewhere but having been struggling to pair a new satellite with existing RBK853 mesh system. I have followed the instructions to pair with Or...
Try hardwiring the new satellite into the router and syncing it.
After you sync it, then try disconnecting it and see if it works.
I was having trouble with my RBR853 system for the past 6 months... several lights on the satellites. Router was always good... tried to repositioned the satellites through out the house with some luck.
System would work for a few days and then lights would start showing up again.
Just last night, when I had both satellites showing the purple light, I had an insight and I changed the channels and voila! As the router did reboot, there were no more lights and the transfer speeds increased!!
So, with any light, as you resynced the whole system after reinstalling it several times with factory reset and the whole nine yards deal, simply change channels and you should be good to go!
Hope this helps!
Stay fluid!
Thanks, ethernet sync worked in the end.
