RBK750, Devices just connect to the router and NOT to any of the 2 satellites

I have RBK753S-100NAS with 2 satellites. Installed them 2 days back (given enough time to set it). All my devices are connected to the ROUTER and none to the satellite ? Why is that

 

I thought the whole idea was to great a MESH so device jump between the closet one

 

Can someone help ? and provide me the settings I need to put in ? or what do I need to do to fix this

 

yes, THE ROUTER and the 2 SATs have the latest and greatest firmware and they match !!

  • What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
    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.

    It's up to wifi devices to pick and choose where they connect too.
