ORBI

These systems are sooooo messed up, it's sad.  I have a router on my main floor, 1 satellite upstairs and 1 downstairs.  

 

My Orbi apps show neither satellite connected; if I go to my wired-in computer and login through routerlogin, I see both satellite connections are solid/good.

 

I've uninstalled my app then reinstalled/relogged-in and it doesn't fix it.  

 

Even the IP addressess shows in routerlogin for the satellites are different than what the orbi app shows.

 

I did try to re-sync my satellites....and according to the directions, I hit the router and then within 2 min, hit the satellite.  The satellite is supposed to show colors to confirm success (blue)...my just flash white for about a minute and then go away.  WTH?

 

I think it's time to switch to Google ... :(
