Status lights in the Network Map of the Orbi App
Note: this is NOT a question about the lights in the Orbi satellites themselves.
I have the AC3000 system, RBR50 router and two satellites. Setup went pretty much as expected, with not problems...
Thanks for the post - in my environment I have the Router on the 1st floor and Satellite 1 upstairs and Satellite 2 downstairs - after setup I was getting the green lights on the Router and SAT1, but SAT2 was yellow (note: as indicated on the Netgear Orbi smartphone app).
After reading through the entire thread I first tried moving SAT2 closer - nothing changed.
I then changed the Channel for 2.4ghz from Auto to '6' - this did the trick.
In my case there was no need for further troubleshooting or disabling of things like Daisy Chain, etc.
How do you change these ”Channels” y’all are talking about?
Log in to the routers web page with a PC or Laptop and a web browser.

by default it is set to Auto. by setting it to less common value (e.g. 6) you get better more reliable connectivity. At least that's the answer I found in the community forums. Since changing it to 6 I have not had any issues. Good luck.
Where you able to change the channels?

Ok, sorry it didn't work out.
Good Luck.
