Is the WAN (yellow) port on the Orbi connected to the internet modem, or one of the other ports?

- Daniellen1Mar 06, 2020AspirantDoes the ref dot on the Satellite mean it's connected or not, its a simple question? The app has shown red since i owned this turd and would like to know its actually connected to the orbi that is hard wired connected to the wall/internet upstairs. I have low bars right next to it which gives me the impression it's not actually working.

As far as I know, "Red Dot" on a satellite means "not connected". I am not as comfortable with the Orbi "app" as with the Orbi web interface. Open any web browser to http://orbilogin.net, log in with the Orbi admin credentials ("admin" and the Orbi admin password), and open the "Attached Devices" page. Satellites appear at the top.
