Trouble Connecting RBS750 Satellite to Router
I tried to connect my RBS750 satellite to my RBS750 router. Although the satellite’s ring light shows blue, the admin portal doesn't show the satellite. I did a factory reset on the satellite and synced them again, but it still doesn’t work.

Sometimes there is a delay between the time devices (or satellites) connect with the router and when they show up in the Attached Devices display.
After the satellite LED turns BLUE, is there a device that can be connected directly to the satellite to confirm that it does not provide internet service?
The satellite's ring LED does turn blue. However, the laptop that is connected to it can't access to the Internet. I went to the admin portal and confirmed that neither the satellite nor the laptop shows up in Attached Devices. Any idea?
What Firmware version is currently loaded on the RBR and RBS?

What is the distance between the router 📡 and satellite(s)🛰️? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.
