Extending Orbi 770

I have a Orbi 770 with 2 satellites and need to extend the system.  My home layout has a new garage that extends to the limit of a satellite.  Can a satellite connect to the router through another satellite?

  • If both RBS are placed out in a line from the RBR and OFF, then closest RBS to the RBR should be turned ON and let it sync. Once it's synced, turn on the farther RBS away from the RBR and it should sync to the middle RBS.

      I moved one satellite past the other and into the garage.  When I looked at the system layout, nothing changed.  All devices attached to a satellite stayed with that satellite.  Is there a procedure that needs to be followed so the layout appearance in the app looks correct and devices switch to the closer satellite?

       

      Thanks, Stndc
