RBS750 - Satellite "Connected" But Not Showing Up
Found that 2 of my 3 satellites were not connected. I tried to sync continuously with no avail. I eventually reset the entire system at the router and each of the satellites. 2 still fail to connect (following all steps of power-cycle, resetting the satellite, etc). The weird thing is that I can connect my computer directly to the satellite and the satellite is still (without a wired connection) communicating with the router and I'm able to access the internet.
So - it seems that my satellite is connected to the router....but it does not show up in network maps on the app nor via orbilogin. I'm not sure if it is a firmware issue? I'm on:
V4.6.5.14_2.0.54
If so, is there is a means of direct connecting to the 2 satellites to update them? Again, I'm not able to discover nor sync to them, but somehow they are still communicating with the router to provide a connection.

Is your RBS connected to a CBR750?

Have a screen capture if what this looks like?
Is this in the RBR web page or Orbi app?

Be it the orbilogin or the app, the 2 satellites do not show up in the map of either connected devices nor connected satellites.

What happens if you bring one RBS to the same room as the RBR and ethernet connect it to the back of the RBR?

Hmm. Ok - connecting it to the RBR created a short sign of life. It now shows up as a satellite, but says it is Disconnected. I powered it down and tried to sync process again and cannot get it to sync. The Satellite is within 10' of the RBR.
