Wired satellite not showing up on Attached Devices
I'm having this exact issue, and it's driving me insane. Just picked up a RBK963. Everything working great, but I need to put the router into AP mode. So I did that, and all was well (as long as I us...

What has prompted this idea? Yes, it is true that having two routers creates what is called a "Double NAT". One of the solutions is to put the ISP device into "bridge" or "passthrough" mode. Another is to put the Orbi into Access Point (AP) mode (which is what you have done).
Perhaps it would be useful to explain the purpose for having the Edgerouter in the first place. (There are many valid reasons. I would like to hear yours.)
You are indeed correct. Not sure what I was thinking. A moment of madness. I did as suggested and have the Orbi router (in AP mode) connected twice to the panel, the LAN port to the switch, and the WAN port directly to the Edgerouter. (Btw I have it as my modem of sorts for my fiber setup. Itâs been rock solid).
So the satellites now shows up in the Orbi app, but Iâm having one issue. My connection to the WAN port is showing up as only 100Mbit. Not sure why. Cable is tested at gigabit speed (itâs CAT5e).
Not sure why this is happening. đ
