Added RBS40 but it has separate network name and network key...
I added an RBS40 to my current duo (RBR50 and RBS50). The RBS40 has a separate network name and password key than my current pair. How do I get it connected to the existing? My network map shows them...
Connected directly to the router is fine. What causes the conclusion that the new satellite has a different name (SSID) and password? Is it the name and password that is printed on the product label?
Are you administering the Orbi using the web interface or the Orbi "app"?
Perhaps you could use the web interface to log into the Orbi router (http://orbilogin.net) and learn the IP address that has been assigned to the new satellite.
Then web browse to the satellite (http://<ip address of satellite)
The satellite home page will show the SSID of the satellite.
Try a factory reset on the RBS and then re-sync it to the RBR. It should configure the same SSID name and PW from the RBR50.

My network map shows them connected independently so the RBS40 is connecting directly to the RBR50 and not running through the RBS50. Thanks, I am a real ameteur at this, so I appreciate the help.
