Amit-
A possible third issue. I am also seeing the Orbi Satellites themselves show up as attached devices rather than as satellites.
Some details: I am running my Orbi system (with two satellites) in AP mode. The Orbi's are connected via ethernet to a Ubiquiti Edgemax router. (They were not connected prior to the 2.1 release as that broke my network, connected now to take advantage of the ethernet backhaul feature.) I am not having any connectivity problems, just UI issues. When I first updated to 2.1, I saw only ~5 devices in the attached devices list with none of the satellites. But everything worked. Over the next day or so all devices including the satellites populated for a total of ~30 devices with everything showing as being directly connected to the router. When I visit the satellites directly via their IP address I can see that devices are actually connecting via the satellites, but that is not shown in the UI of the router. This is true on the web interface and in the iOS app.
Hope this helps.

updated smoothly. wired backhaul works fine. finally nice to have that feature. router shows all satellite connections as wired, not what I wanted but having used the linksys velop system prior to orbi the same thing happened, except this such a much better product.
