RBS750 Not "Meshing"
I recently purchased a 750 system with a router and two satellites. We have a very long house. The internet cable enters at one end of the house. That's where the RBR750 is located. The first RBS...

V7.2.6.31_5.0.24 I think this is the most current version.
Your suggestion worked, but not in the way I expected. I moved the closer RBS750 about 5 feet farther from the router, which put in the same room as the further RBS750. I unplugged the further and plugged it back in after the nearer booted up. The nearer RBS750 showed a "poor" connection to the router (in the admin app - which I have to say is handier than the Orbi app.). But the further connected to yet another RBS750 that I didn't previously mention. At that time I had not added it to the system. The third RBS750 is connected to the router via wire t get it configured. Its in the same room as the router, but about 7 feet lower. That satellite is what the further connected to with a "good" connection. So weird. But there is a lot of ductwork and pipes in the basement ceiling. I think the angle of the backhaul transmission from the further satellite to the 3rd satellite gets under the obstacles. I have some placement experimentation to do.
Thank you for your help.
