Orbi AX satellite not able to connect to router in AP mode
I have the Orbi AX RBR 850 and RBS 850. Does anyone know how to wire a laptop directly to a satellite? I need to reort to this step because: 1. new firmware caused an issue. 2. and so I chang...
Thanks for your suggestion but this is not working for me. Did it 3 times with laptop plugged in and wifi off. Ethernet indicates identifying when satellite is resetting. When done(solid white light on satellite), laptop says unidentified network, no internet. I take it as its connected to the satellite.
Key in 192.168.1.250. This site is unreachable. Key in 10.0.0.1 for good measure. Same thing.
I am sure i have done this before, as in connecting wired to satellite and it worked in v3 firmware.... unfortunately i think this set of instructions is now outdated.
By the way, i did this on 2 different satellites.

Does the RBS connect to the RBR if you configure router mode on the RBR?
Previously yes. But I do not want to go back to router mode. I have 2 satellites that are working without doing anything. 3 down.
I would return to router mode and see if you can get the other RBS to connect. If they do, check there web pages for FW version which should be the same.
- I may try this later. Another issue i could think of is, my new network with the new router gives out addresses in 192.168.0.x while the old RBR in router mode was giving out addr 192.168.1.x. Would this matter or be the cause?
