Orbi RBE771 and Satellite - wont sync.
Hi all I have just installed ORBI 771 router successfully. I am trying to install and sync the satellite. It shows on my app as having been added to the network but will not sync. I assumed ...
So with the RBS in same room as the RBR, say 12-15 feet away, press the reset button on the RBS for 15 seconds. Look at the back of the RBS and the power LED, after the LED changes from AMBER to GREEN power OFF the RBS.
Now factory reset the RBR using the ERASE button on the RBR web page. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
Allow the RBR to perform the reset and reboot. Let the front LED go WHITE. Don't do anything here.
Power ON the RBS.
Lets give the RBS about 5-10 minutes, it should auto sync to the RBR with out doing anything between them.
If the front LED changes to BLUE on the RBS, open a web browser on a ethernet connected PC and navigate to 192.168.1.1 and begin to walk thru the setup wizard. You should be able to get to the part were it detects the RBS and it should find it there.
Complete the setup wizard process.
Let us know if you can get to this stage here.
