Orbi 850 Satellite (wireless) went offline and will not reconnect to Router
I have an ORBI RBK843S AX5700 purchased from Costco a few months. Installed with one wired satellite and one wireless. All was fine until the other night. The one wireless satellite went offline from...
One more data point. I had a mini-wifi AccessPoint plugged into the satellite because I needed to broadcast an SSID at 24GHz only for a wifi thermostat. It's default network was 192.168.10.1. I unplugged it and power cycled the satellite and it came up and connected wirelessly. Problem solved. The AP was, no doubt, acting as a DHCP server on both ethernet connections and the ORBI picked it up and ran with it, perhaps after a power glitch/reboot.
Glad it was a simple fix!
If you mark it solved, it helps keep others from trying to fix an already fixed issue.
Plus it might help others that run into similar issues!
Again glad it worked!
(someone might post after me about the importance of making backups) ;)
Never hurts to have one on hand. Saves time if a reset is needed.

I agree. I did this a few minutes after my previous message in case I needed to reset everything. I think I will do it periodically after any configuration change.
Thanks
