Does yours say "orbi satellite" for connected orbi instead of the name you gave the satellite?
Yes

If your still seeing “orbi satellite” instead of the name you gave it for the connected orbi try enabling daisy chain and see if that fixes that. As soon as I enabled daisy chain everything started reporting correctly in the mobile app and web interface and my devices actually started switching between the router and satellite.

Yes, others in this thread are experiencing the opposite behavior of Daisy Chain. Seems that enabling seems to be OFF and disable seems to be ON. Users are reporting that enabling Daisy Chain is helping there system work better. NG is aware of it and looking into it.

If you updated to recent FW v.210, try enabling Daisy Chain. Some have mentioned that this seems to be working in reverse order, enabling means disabled actually. Hoping NG support can have a look at this. So try this out as well.

Well for my rbk23 I have it disabled since I had an issue prior to this update of my satellites connecting to each other when they were still in good distance of the router. Also when you reboot does your Orbi go blue then magenta for a minute before going back to blue? That's been happening to me when I reboot my network.Daisy chan off means on now? Also anyone else getting connection hiccups? As in it pauses for like 5 to 10 secs but it quickly resumes.
- I did manually update the firmware and factory reset so maybe that had something to do with it. However even now if I disable daisy chain I experience the same symptoms your describing and when I enabled it again all goes back to normal.

Do you have daisy chain disabled or enabled? Mine was doing the same thing and after I enabled daisy chain everything went back to normal. I have daisy chain enabled but my system is star topography. If your running wireless backhual I would try this and see if it works.Daisy Chain was enabled. I've now disabled it (I'm also in star topology so don't need it) and nothing has changed. The icons keep flashing every 5 secs. A wired connection to one of the satellites is the only one that is supposidley not on the router. However, an iPhone right next to the other satellite must be connected to the sat (?) but it's showing connnection to the Router on the other side of the house.

Finally, the system is very stable from last 4 days with my one RBR50 router and 6 satelites (1-RBS50, 2-RBS40, 3-RBS20) . Picture attached.The stability of my RBK50 setup has been fine on the previous v2.1.4.16 firmware (ever since I got rid of the RBW30 satellite and replaced it with a RBS50. Moral of the story is don't mix AC2200 and AC3000 equipment - despite the claimed compatability). I'm using wireless backhaul.
My Router and Sats have auto-updated to v2.2.1.210. Everything seems fine from a connection and speed perspective, and the admin pages report 'Good' backhaul status. However, the 'Attached Devices' admin page is showing the same glitches that others have reported:
- Satellites not showing their assigned names correclty on the connected devices list on the the 'Attached Devices' admin page,
- Devices connected to satellites showing 'unknown for connection type (actually connected via WiFi) on the the 'Attached Devices' admin page,
- A phone in the same room as a Sat is shown connected to the Router on the the 'Attached Devices' admin page,
- On the on the the 'Attached Devices' admin page, the icons for the 'Attached Devices' and the icons for their connection type flash off momentarily, every 5 secs. It's like it's doing a refresh, but not the same as clicking the refresh button, which refreshes the entire screen.
- The Orbi App shows all the devices connected to the router. Can't be right for devices in the same room as Sats.
Apart from the buggy 'Attached Devices' page and questions over the network map information, everything else in the admin pages seems okay.
I didn't previously have stability problems with v2.1.4.16 and this seems no different after the update.
What I have noticed is that the previous gradual slowing of the internet connection speed over time (see this thread) seems to have gone with v2.2.1.210 (but it's early days and I'll need to leave it for a few days to be sure)
