Orbi RBS750 disappeared
Dear community, I use 1 Orbi RBS750 satellite with my NBR750 router running firmware v4.6.5.11_1.5.66. Recently, I updated my Orbi RBS750 satellite to firmware v7.2.7.15. The satellite kept connecting fine and devices in my network connected to the satellite but it no longer showed up in the Orbi App or on the router portal (it is listed but shows as "disconnected"). Upon realising that the satellite firmware isn't compatible with my router, I manually downgraded it to v4.6.14.3. Again, the satellite connects, as well as devices to it, but it doesn't show up in the App or router portal. I've now tried everything: factory reset on the satellite, factory reset on the router and reconfiguring the network, downgrading the satellite further to v4.6.11.1, removing the satellite from the list of attached devices and re-adding it, adding it through the App, adding it through the router portal, hitting the Sync buttons on one or both devices, combinations of all of the above. I've also tried and failed to upload firmware via ethernet cable and tftp. The reason it fails, as I've noticed, is that I actually can't truly factory reset the satellite - it always boots up to re-connect to the router. I've tried holding "reset" for different durations, unplugging the power once the light turns orange and blinks... Nothing helps. The satellite pops back into the network but invisible. In general, my network is operational, but I'm rather annoyed that I can't manage it properly. Any suggestions?RB760 cable upload speed capped at 100mbsp
If I connect my laptop through a cable to my orbi, the download speed is correct at 1gbps, but my upload speed is capped at 100mbps. If I unplug my orbi and connect my laptop directly to the internet, the upload speed is correct. How can I fix this? Upload speed through wifi is als correct at 1gbps. I hope someone can help me.Orbi 770 - Buffering
The issue comes to when devices, mostly iPhones, will start to buffer video, reels, scrolling. Device is stationary, not that should matter with the mesh network. Using videos as an example, it will buffer for 5-10 seconds and then continue. This was never an issue in the past, only once the 770 were installed. here is a quick look at the current setup. This should not be happening, must be a seting somewhere! Orbi 770 Router RBE771 Firmware: v10.5.20.7 (as of Feb 12 2026) Connected to Xfinity Modem via 2.5gbps port.

I have 2 gig services so I expect higher results. The placement of the Router and Satellites are the SAME as my older orbi system. Orbi 770 with 3 units should be more than enough for my house, so the specs say. iPhone setting - at least one. iphone settings have been modified per some of the discussions on this group.

Team, I have just had FTTP installed. My previous connection with TPG ran through an older TPG modem then into my Orbi system. With my new connection I am trying to connect my Orbi directly to the fiber through an ethernet cable. I can see the Orbi in my phone etc but it is showing "connected without internet". I cannot figure out how to progress this and feel the app is sending me around in circles. I have attempted to update PPPOE but not having any luck. Help please.
