Devices Not Showing Connected to Satellite on Network Map

Running latest firmware on RBR50. Devices sitting in same room as satellite show in network map on orbi app as being connected to satellite initially and then after a period of time show being connected to router. Didn’t have this issue before latest firmware. What gives?

Try a factory reset and setup from scratch with new FW load. 

 

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

Re: Devices Not Showing Connected to Satellite on Network Map

I’ve rebooted several times trying to improve my crappy 125/200 WiFi speed on my century link gig fiber connection.  Which incant seem to make better.. so truthfully with that issue alone this thing may go back to Best Buy.  I got the same speeds on my two year old dual band Samsung connect mesh. I bought the Orbi thinking it would be better. At lest 400

anyway after all the rebooting my satellite still has nothing connected t it. Only shows the two wired items I have connected to it.. meanwhienthere is a Roku and echo dot right next to it that rather attach to the route 25 feet away

2100 sq ft. Satellite within 30 ft of router. Did factory reset and reload prior to posting. No difference

Might give it time for the network map to populate. Seen it where it takes a while for the system to settle in. 

Be sure your speed testing wired connection with a PC first.
