Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
Turn off and unplug modem.
Turn off router and computers.
Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
Turn on computers and rest of network.
Might update RBS first then RBR lastly.

Forgot to answer your others, apologies:
Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update? Yes did all that earlier in the day when the issue wouldn't go away. I always unplug all the network devices for 5 min, plug in ISP modem, wait 5 minutes, plug in main orbi router, wait 5 min, then plug in the satellite. I've also done a hard reset 3x on the satellite and attempted to reconnect. Always get the blue light but never appears in the list on both app and browser.
