Please explain what indicates that only a single device connects to the Orbi system?
(Technically, devices connect to WiFi systems. WiFi systems do not connect to devices.)

- Does the Orbi web interface Attached Devices display only one device?
It would be useful to understand the network topology. "What is connected to what?" and using which ports?
There have been numerous posts on the forum where users have placed the Orbi router in Access Point (AP) mode and cabled the router and satellites in a way that prevents the router from detecting devices attached to satellites.
