Reconvergence?

This morning's behavior seems to suggest that the topology is A to B and A to C, but nothing B to C.

I've never explored what happens to wifi connectivity when the Orbi router is turned off.  Switches continue to work, since they are using layer 2 mac address tables to distribute traffic.

The backhaul connection topology depends on the placement of the three nodes.  It is not a full mesh, it is a backbone.  So one of

1. A - B - C
2. A - C - B
3. B - A - C

Where the router would be "A". 

The network map in the Orbi app should show you the toplogy; you can also see this in the attached devices list in the web ui.

But was odd was that I could not access my servers (B) from my office PC (C). 

I am thinking the servers are connected with ethernet.  Is the ethernet connected to the nearby satellite, or is it connected to the router?
