Satellite won't connect

Hello, 

 

Last night I noticed my wifi was very slow because one of my satellites kept disconnecting and causing a bad backhaul, so I decided to reset and re-sync everything. It seemed to fix the issue but I woke up this morning to that same satellite now offline. I've tried resetting everything and syncing it all back together, but it still remains offline when I look at orbi app or even through the setting online. I even tried to connect it through a wired connection but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions? 

 

My current set up is:

Router:RBR850

2 RBS850 Satellites:

Current modem is the cm1100 with a brand new coax cable.

Firmware version:V4.6.3.16_2.0.51

House sqft: 5,000ft 

The router and satellite distance are about 25 feet from each other. 

2.4ghz channel is set at 11, 5ghz is on 48

wifi neighbors 6

Model: RBK53|Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System

Re: Satellite won't connect

The router and satellite distance are about 25 feet from each other"< This maybe too close.  30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

You may need to factory reset the system and power the system OFF as well.
