Orbi 850 satellite ethernet no devices connect
Hi I recently installed an Orbi 850 router and two satellites. The satellites are connected via ethernet. One satellite is not doing its job. No devices ever connect to this satellite except...
What I did to get v4.6.3.16 working on my 8 series:

My 8 series system was pretty solid after this. I had it online for over a week before I had to take it offline for checking on something else.
You may need to factory reset the system and power the system OFF as well. This user posted his process:

FURRYe38 That is one thing I haven't done. (Ive done reloading firmware, downgrading, trying to block updates, swapping cables, sacrificing small animals) However the web interface isn't showing correctly either when logged into the router. If I log into the satellite directly, it shows everything is fine. However, I do have random disconnects every few days, which never used to happen before. I just wish Netgear would repackage the the V3 firmware and call it V4 or V5 so everything would display properly again and hopefully fix the disconnects.
