There is no harm in Factory Resetting the satellite and adding it again:
- Power off the satellite.
- Go to the Orbi web interface, Attached Devices page and click on the option to "Remove" the satellite.
- On the Satellite, power it on and hold a paperclip in the reset hole until the LED next to the power switch begins to flash amber.
- Remove the paperclip.
- After the satellite restarts, go back to the Orbi web interface
- Select the bottom item on the Home Page menu, "Add Orbi Satellite"
- Follow directions.
Whereas doing a factory reset on the router erases all user configuration, resetting the satellite does not.
