2x RBK22 Costco

I have 2x sets of the below. I want to link a satellite to another system. So to be clear I want to link a satellite that came with a router into a new router. https://www.costco.com/Netg...

Yes you can. Just know that the RBRs can not work as satellites.

Just factory reset the one RBS and then add it to the other system.

Does this work? Can I make it work?

I tried what you suggested. I verified that they are not RBRs, I have RBS'.

The issue is set it up after pressing the reset button and restarting the orbi satellite. And now the two satellites refuse to be on the same network map at the same time?

I connected them but they don't count or appear in each other's network map. Sometimes I get 1 orbi sometimes I get the other. but never both together in the network map.

I am not sure if it is working...

Is Daisy Chain enabled? Try that disabled...

DO they appear in the RBRs web page with a web browser?

Please press the Sync button on the Router and then the Sync button on the new Satellite to make them sync together.

Or follow the "Add Orbi Satellite" in the web GUI as follows:
