Can't attach Orbi Satellite
I am having problems connecting this 6th satellite to my orbit 850 router? What should I do?

Not quite. It does recommend no more than 4 satellites with wireless backhaul. But if rongerber can switch to a wired backhaul on two satellites, then that would potentially work.
That said, I am also wondering about the space rongerber is trying to cover. 6 satellites + the router might not be needed.
