Orbi 770 satellites do not show up on network map even after turning blue
Hi. I have an orbi 770 tri-and which 1 main router + 2 satellites. The main router is functioning well. But the satellites after syncing with the router and turning blue, it still does not show up on...
12 feet is TOO close between the RBR and RBS. 30 feet distance is starting distance between the RBR and RBS.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
Lets see if getting the system updated in FW as well:

Update the RBS first, then RBR lastly:

Do you have a device with a screen large enough to run the web management interface?
(desktop, laptop, tablet?)
Unless there is a solid concrete wall between router and satellite, 12 feet of separation is not enough to create much of a difference in signal strength between router and satellite and devices, which may affect how devices determine which to use. A simple experiment would be to move the satellite to at least a 30 ft. separation, place a WiFi device very close to the satellite, and see how it connects.
