Orbi mobile app can not see satelites

Since a few days ago I realized inside the app that it can only "see" the router and not the satelites, I did a downgrade of latest firmawe and then re update to the latest one, but is the same.

 

But all the devices along my home wifi are working fine, I can see them all quite well also inside the orbi admin via PC I can see the devices but not the satelites, I know they are working fine because I live in a 3 level house so I have 1 on each level being the top one were the router is connected to the IPS router that is in bridge mode, so I can get wifi as usual.

 

Thanks in advance

Hello hcch,

 

May you reinstall the Orbi app and check to see if that helps.

Hi hcch,

 

Thanks for confirming. May you power cycle your Orbi system and let me know if that resolves your issue.

Hi, by power cycle you mean going off and on again? 

 

I have done several restarts via de app, also I have unpluged and replug all the devices (router and satelites).

 

With the same result as today.

 

The only thing I have not done yet is the full reset of the router, mainly because I am not sure if after that the system will be able to detect them. As told in the first post I can see them (on the orbi admin via ip adress on the browser) and everyting is connected to them.

 

Sadly there is not under warranty anymore, and besides that I am having some touble with my remote access of my synology NAS and I will bet is the orbi. =(

 

Thanks again for your kind support.
