This might be a regression: if I go to the control panel for each of the satellites by typing their IP addresses into a web browser, the satellite that is connected wirelessly displays "Unknown" for the name of each of its connected devices. The wired satellite displays the devices' names correctly. I've rebooted the wireless satellite and it's displaying the same behaviour.

Note that this doesn't seem to be affecting the operation of those devices, they are still connected and working correctly.

My other observation so far is devices seem more reluctant to connect to that specific wireless satellite than they were on 4.6.6.11. Might be just a temporary thing but there definitely seems to have been a change in behaviour there.

Both satellites and the main router have been updated to 4.6.7.5 and the system has been powered down and rebooted following the upgrade.

  I had same issue after initial update. What I did was make sure everything was up and running and then did a power reboot via the Orbi app and when everything came back up, all devices showed up like they should.

    OK, I just got mine installed. Did the grey install, installed FW, shut off RBS then RBR for 1 minute or more, then back ON with the RBR first and let it come to ready. The turned ON RBS one at a time. This time were going to be wireless with the RBS for a couple of days, then I'll connect them via ethernet. I set some IP address reservations for the RBS as well. Manual channels 1 and 40. CTS = 64. Transmit Power = 50%.

It's recommended that a power OFF for 1 minute then back ON with the RBS and RBR after a FW update at least.

After the system is online, try a reboot of the RBR to see if clients will connect to the RBS. Again, it's up to clients to pick and choose where they connect too.

Updated last night from 4.6.6.11 that had been rock solid. Did a dirty upgrade and did not power either router or Satelite off after upgrade.

Lost satelite and needed to reboot everything. It appears that the mesh is not working as well in this firmware. It has not picked up some of the nearest clients-

Everything else appears to be working correctly

Satelite on this firmware was / is not working as well as on 4.6.6.11.
Would not pick up clients that are very close and then some clients it did find, it dropped them.

Decided to do a factory reset and power off for 5 minutes or so and then set it up fresh.
I will update on if this makes a difference.

  What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?
  
  What happens if you set transmit power to 50% on the RBR?

    I have many questions. Is there a limit for questions. Furry seems to over the limit, if there is one. Just asking. Thank you
