RBK352 satellite synch issue.
Dear Community, I have encountered installing new Orbi RBK352. For some reasons I cannot synchronize satellite once it's relocated into seperate floor. What's very strange is:
1) any personal device I have (IPhone or HP laptop) wery well detecting signal from master router (located floor above).
2) signal range brodcasted from master router is detected as strong by these personal devices. It's around 70 % strong.
3) Speed performance measured on 2nd floor or ground floor (master router is placed in 1st floor) are very good. Actually with ISP link capacity offered by provider.
4) Firmware ver installed: 4.3.4.8
Im summary - what I have observer is for some reason stetelite cannot detect master router even when other devices can.
Did anyone from Community encountered such case ? Any tips, fixes or suggestion ?
PS. If I can share more testing results or config to understand issue better I'm here to help.
Thank you :)
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)?
Try swapping RBS locations with the other RBS to see if problem follows...

What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
