Orbi RBS850 Wired Satellites Not Showing On Router Webpage As Connected
Just brought home the Obri 860 system with 2 satellites. After setting the router up and putting it in AP mode I tried and synched the satellites. I was having trouble and left them just wired and ...
How do you have the satellites hardwired in?
It should go att gateway--->RBR--->RBS's
They wired backhauls for the satellites need to connect to the rbr's lan port. Not through its wan port or the att gateway.
And the bluelight only stays on for a short period. If its connects fine, it usually shuts back off.
Thanks its ATTRouter - Lan Port Orbi Router - Satellite 1 and 2 lan port to same wired network. Everything functionally is working great, just the odd behavior of the orbi app and router web page reporting 0 satellites connected. But if you logon to each satellite web page it shows they are successfully connected and you can see all the connected devices. If you remove the ethernet cables then the satellite syncs with blue light and orbi app and router shows connected satellites. Functionality of the product is great just that weirdness with reporting the satellites. I opened a case just to get an explanation or possible future firmware fix. Ideally the orbi app would show satellites connected whether using wifi or wired. latest firmware in place on all devices
It should go att gateway--->orbi's WAN port---->lan port out---->satellites
