orbi rbk50 help
just got the Orbi rbk50 to try it out to see how it performs so my issue that it doesn't connect to satellite unless it close by so not sure why it has to be close i thought this was a system to use...
My practice with satellites is to first pair them in the same room as the router. That way, I can use the router web interface on my PC, handle the sync buttons on the two units, and watch the ring LED without running all over the house. Once the satellite is successfully paired, it can then be moved anywhere in the house, plugged in, and the ring LED observed.
Orbi satellites will also connect to the router using Ethernet cable (no longer than 300ft.)
If the satellite does not pair when sitting in the same room as the satellite, it may take a Factory Reset to clear out any existing configuration on the satellite (not the router).
ok im give that a try in the same room and see how it goes again and reply afterwards give me a few minutes if you would
