Unable to login to Orbi satellites & and security is "none"?

This is a strange one.   Two RBS units, both running the latest firmware, both on wired backhaul to the RBR and operating fine.  Both have DHCP reservations (192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.102) and ar...

I have seen that before as well. I did power OFF the RBS for 30 seconds then back on then it seemed to collect the configuration from the RBR correctly.

    Why does your firmware version have a "T2" at the end of it?

    This morning, I tried logging back on to one the RBS after rebooting and I was able to get in.  But after clicking on the "connected devices" tab, I lost GUI access to the RBS.  The RBS is still pinging and up.

     

    I powered off that RBS and it's been over > 3 mins now yet the RBR status page still says that powered off RBS is still connected???  I know if I reboot the RBR, it will correctly reflect that the RBS is off.

     

    Update: it looks like it takes about 10 minutes (after refreshing several times) before the RBR status page correctly shows that the RBS was disconnected/powered off.
