One satellite not relaying guest wifi network (RBR850/RBS850)
Hi I have a RBR850 orbi router, with two RBS850 satellites connected via a wired connection One of the satellites has stopped transmitting the guest wifi network, the other satellite and main...
Definitely something with the switch. I managed to directly connect the satellites to the router and everything magickly works. Is this an oddity with this switch or has anyone seen similar behaviour on other switches?
Thanks for both responses - I should have included the firmware details, apologies. I'm running V4.6.3.16_2.0.51 on all three devices
I'm connected to a BT FTTP modem (unsure of exact version) - but would this really impact the guest wifi on one satellite?
the newer firmware might help.
You can try downloading it and installing it.
All updated to 4.6.7.13 (odd the router didn't recognise this version via an online update?) - sadly still the same issue
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?

I did a reset and re-pair on the troublesome satellite before FW update... but not after. I can try again now.
Or are you suggesting a full router factory reset?
