Hello, I’m in the US. I have an HA Green connected via Ethernet to Netgear Orbi router. The Orbi also has two satellites. My HA instance can communicate with all devices that are also connected to the Orbi router, but cannot communicate with devices connected to the satellites. For example, I have a WLED device for roof lights connected to the “Dining Room” satellite via WiFi. The HA instance cannot communicate with the WLED device and pings are not successful. Anyone else experience this issue? Hoping there may a setting that can be changed on the Orbi 🤞.

Hi @brittle nimbus,
I don't know how that mesh works, but many meshes use one of the WIFI bands to talk to the sattellites, and then that device doesn't have it available for other devices. If the 2.4 is being used, it may not be available to your IOT. I would look at the setup of the main Orbi and see what it's using to talk to it's children mesh devices.
