RBE771: 6th wired satellite missing / 5th Config Sync
Hello, I am seeing what appears to be a reproducible issue with my Orbi RBE771 running firmware V10.5.20.10. Hardware Router: RBE771 Satellites: 6 × RBE770 Firmware: V10.5.20.10 on router and...
I performed the requested test by disconnecting the Ethernet cable from one satellite, leaving five satellites connected by Ethernet and one using wireless backhaul.
The result was the same. Attached Devices shows only five satellites, all as Wired / Good. The sixth satellite still does not appear on the Attached Devices page, although it continues to appear on the Firmware Update page.
The sixth satellite is operational and provides Wi-Fi coverage, so it appears to be functioning normally. Changing one satellite from wired to wireless backhaul did not change the behavior.
This suggests the issue is not related to all six satellites using wired backhaul.
One additional question: have you or Netgear been able to test an RBE771 with six RBE770 satellites on the current firmware? Since the sixth satellite is detected on the Firmware Update page and is fully operational, but never appears on the Attached Devices page, I'm wondering if this could be a firmware or UI issue specific to this configuration.
Thanks.
