Orbi Pro Router (SXR80) Satellite Connection Issues (SXS80)
I have been running two networks based on the SXR80 router and SXS80 satellites. Recently I have been seeing a strange behavior. The Insight App and Cloud say the satellites are NOT connected, but the Satellites show Blue LED indicators which suggest they are connected. I have done complete restarts of the system from the cable modems, then router then satellites, but nothing gets the insight app to see them as connected? I also noticed a very strange behavior in the insight cloud portal as well. connections to the network that are listed as "Wired" are all wireless devices?!? I have no idea why that would display in that fashion when thinks like wireless cameras, mobile phones and ring doorbells are clearly not wired to the network. Is this a firmware issues? Any suggestions? Thanks!Orbi Pro 6 (SXR80 - SXS80) Connection with Powerline Adapter
Hi Community, Has anyone had success connecting an Orbi Pro 6 Mesh System Router to a Satellite using a Powerline Adapter? I have a a network setup with an SXR80 and an SXS80 but was having a difficult time keeping the satellite connected. Lacking a direct wired connection I have tried a Netgear Powerline adapter and while it appears to work....the Insight App shows a connected satellite on the dashboard, when I click into the satellite screen, the satellite details show an IP Address, with 0 connected clients and Mesh Link Status of "Disconnected" and firmware version of "0" However, it does appear to be working as a viable access point. I am just wondering if this is now running in some sort of reduced performance mode and I also wonder whether the automatic firmware updates will happen as scheduled and desired? Any insights (pun intended) into what might be going on, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
