The orbi is in router mode - I have uverse and setup in pass through mode. The satellites have been power cycled but it still doesn’t show them as normal. This did work for some period of time but stopped working a few weeks ago.

Factory reset work - however, once I loaded the old config the issue re-appeared. I factory reset again and started the config over from scratch. My guess is something in the router config is corrupt - I won't reload that one again!
I am a tech guy - in all my years of networking I have factory reset and loaded a config more times on my home orbi system than on any system I ever supported. Don't get me wrong, I've reloaded configs before, but not this many times. My old RBR750 bricked and Costco was nice enough to swap it for the RBR760.
Just sayin.....

Yes, sometimes newer FW introduces some incompatibilities with older versions of saved backup config files. Why we always recommend settting up from scratch, testing the system out to make sure it works first with out loading a backup config file, then save off a new back up to file.
Glad you got it working.
Enjoy.
