What A Set Up = Orbi AX1800 RBK353
So i have just managed to by my first wifi 6 Mesh set up. I have purchased a AX1800 WiFi Mesh System (RBK353) Orbi Dual-Band WiFi 6 Mesh System, 1.8Gbps, Router + 2 Satellites. After almost 5 ho...
What happens if you bring the RBS to the same room as the RBR and try to press the sync button on the RBS then soon after press the sync button on the RBR. Turn OFF the other RBS before trying this.
Reivew the RBRs Connected Devices page to see if the 2nd RBS connects or not.
Possible the RBS did not get the FW update that the RBR got and could be causing this...RBS needs to be on same firmware version as whats loaded on the RBR.
I hate to say it but i have had the RBS in every room around the house, I have had it around 2 meters from the RBR and it still only flashes blue.
"However" in the last 15mins i have seen a video online and i went and tried it.
The working satilite that is in the spare room all set up and working fine and showing to work well on the app with the Blue LED for around 80/12 secs is good, I took the RBS that i can not and it will not connect and i pligged a CAT6 Ethernet cable between the working RBS and the one that does not connect and then the one that would not connect went on with a BLUE LED and showed to be wired on the app.
So if the RBS is on BLUE steady, then it synced or getting connected at this point. The BLUE LED remains ON for several minutes afterwards.
Does the RBS appear as connected on the RBRs web page when the RBS LED is BLUE? If so, you an try to connect to it's web page using the IP address given to it by the RBR. If you can get to the web page and log in, I would re-send the RBS FW file or ensure the RBS is updated to same version as the RBR. Send the FW file using a web browser and see if the RBS will return to ready, front LED should be BLUE for several minutes then turn OFF.
