First time instalation
Just bought the rbk853 at first time installation, i had a firmware update. I connected my Orbi router with my modem. After that the router worked but i cant connect the 2 satellites. I resetted the router and satellites yet they wont connect. Can someone help me out? I thought this would be plug and play
Im thinking of bringing it back because it doesnt work

Re: First time instalation
try hardwiring the satellites into the router and trying to sync them. make sure they're on the same firmware versions.

Take the satellites too where the router is, factory reset the satellites, and use a known good 6ft cable and hardwire them into the router. Then give it a bit for everything to boot up and log in through the GUI (browser) and see if they connected. From the GUI you can check the firmware.
