RBR760 confusion

While the vast majority of WiFi installations are similar (almost "cookie cutter"), a unique building design often results in unique needs.

Thus, one room that blocks WiFi may require a WiFi unit to be placed in the room and connected physically to the network (in this case using a fiber with Ethernet adapters).

The primary issues with running two WiFi networks in one building involve:

• Radio interference.  This can be reduced by configuring the two systems to use different WiFi channels.
• Mobile devices not roaming well.  (the reason "mesh" systems were invented)  In this case, for example, a mobile phone may retain just enough signal from one WiFi system not to drop the connection and seek out the other WiFi system when moving around the house.  When the user is aware of this situation it can become "automatic" to toggle WiFi when moving around the house.

There have been many posts on the Forum regarding issues with Orbi routers in AP mode and the satellites/attached devices not appearing correctly.  In almost every case, the problem stemmed from:

• Not using the WAN port to connect the RBR760 to the network and
• Connecting satellites to the primary network rather than letting them use the WiFi connection to the router.  i.e. the satellites appeared to be connected to the WAN port of the router rather than to the LAN side (WiFi or 'wired')

That does not seem to be the case here, so I am really mystified.  It should work just like the Orbi 50 system worked before (except now supporting WiFi6 devices, 802.11ax)
