Hello Greyskarr,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are having issues with your syncing all the devices of your Orbi Mesh system. You also note that you use different a different 970 and it worked. The Orbi mesh system includes one router and multiple satellites based on the configuration ordered. If you ordered a kit this means you are replacing the router (RBE971), with your satellite (RBE970). Please ensure that you are connecting the router (RBE971) to your modem. The satellite (RBE970) can only be connected to the router. Connecting the satellite (RBE970) to the ISP modem will result in no internet access.
Best,
Kevin
