I have the Orbi 2 pack - should it say 2 satellites connected or just 1?

Hello!

 

Just a quick question...

 

I own the orbi 2 pack and have it setup around the house. When I log into orbilogin site and view the "attached devices" section, how many "satellites" should show up in the Connected Satellites section?

 

Right now it just says 1... I'm wondering if it should say 2? 

 

Is there any physical way to check if both are connected by looking at the routers?

 

Thank you

If you have the two pack, you have one router and one satellite. So, you should show one satellite connected. When you log into "orbilogin" you are actually logging into the Orbi router.

I have the 2 devices... One is the router RBR50 and one is the SAT RB50.. Only 1 SAT means only One in devices.

In addition, under the attached devices page you can view the satellite's IP address. Typing that into your browser will let you log in to the satellite specifically (using the same login info as the router). From here you can check which devices are specifically connected to the satellite.
