You may have unrealistic expectations.
- An Orbi "router" (with a model name "RBRxx") cannot be attached to another Orbi system and act as a "satellite".
It simply cannot. If that is what you are attempting to do, it cannot succeed. - An Orbi router CAN be attached to anything as a separate network. It will create a new network with a range of IP's separate from the primary Orbi network. It will have a separate WiFi name/password. (You can name them the same as the primary Orbi, but that would be the same thing as attaching a WiFi router from Asus, D-Link, or any other company.) It will NOT "integrate" with the Orbi network.
