How to know which Orbi a device is connected to?
I'm trying to debug and optimize my Orbi installation. How can I know whether my iPhone or computer is connected to the main Orbi vs the Orbi satellite?

So here is a relatively simple method to see what devices are connected to the satellite.
1.From main router control, ORBILOGIN.co, go to attached devices and note the IP address of your satellite, probably 10.0.0.2.
2. Open a new tab in your browser and enter the IP address of the satellite.
3. You will be asked for a UN and PW. They are the same as for the ORBILOGIN page.
4. You will be taken to a page with tabs on the left.
5. The top tab will give you the functional status of the satellite.
6. The next tab down, Connected Devices, will show you what devices are currently attached to the satellite.
7. The firmware update tab is for already downloaded files with updated versions of software.
8. The final tab logs you out of the satellite.
So, all in all, very simple and very direct. Refreshing is slow, but it does work.
I hope that this helps everyone, and I wonder why Netgear hasn't posted this up front or made it easier to do this.
Best,

Thanks. This works well, and it woould not be very hard for them to let you link to the IP address of the Satelite right from the main screen. It could even carry your existing login password with it if they chose.
