FURRYe38 You were absolutely right. I identified the runs to my satellites, connected them directly to the RBR, and they appear on the dashboard. Still can't use the app yet, but that is fine for now. Thanks!

NG GS-105/108v4, D-Link DGS-105/108 and HP ProCurve 1400/1800 series switches work for Orbi systems.
