I've got the RBS50 in AP mode and it's working as are the satellites.
Is there any reason why I can't or shouldn't keep the Vodafone WiFi up and running at the same time? I get better speed from that than I do from the Orbi

Lots of noise and interferences between them.
Not sure what speeds you are seeing from the Orbi. Depending on devices support, connection, distances and which signal source your connected too, average speeds seen on 50 series would be between 300-500Mbps on 5Ghz. Could be lower with distances and building materials.

I said earlier that the satellites were working but they aren't. They show as connected in the Orbi app but devices connected to them have no internet access. Is it simply a matter of resynching them or is something more fundamental going wrong?- Phoenix125Feb 15, 2025AspirantUpdate: One of the satellites is working and has internet. It also shows up in the Vodafone's NAT table whereas the other two do not. I'm doing a hard reset of the two problem satellites now.
Fingers crossed that works.
