Orbi RBK852 not showing attached devices
So, I've just installed an RBK852 pair, and the speeds are great: 300Mbs over wireless backhaul - that's the limit my ISP sets. However, I'm finding the web-based management lacking. My bigg...

Ok, So you can try this out. Turn ON the RBS.
Try turning down the power output of the RBRs wifi radios from 100% to 50% or 25%. Apply the change then reboot the RBR. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
If your devices are still online, they should pick and choose to connect to the RBS. You can log into the RBS web page there to see whats connected to it. Though sometimes "unknown" maybe seen on the RBS web page. Known issue here.

I would say the router and satellite are around 30 feet apart: different ends of the house, and 1 floor apart.

Thanks, I'll try that a little later.
Should there be a separate RBS web page? I tried entering 192.168.1.5 into the browser, but without success.

Yes, you should be able to access the RBS web page at the IP address seen on the RBRs connected satellites page.

So, I've restarted the satellite, and now all devices are visible across both router and satellite.
I guess the old power cycle worked.
