  I'm about to open packaging on a new Outdoor Satellite from Amazon, and I have the Orbi with 2 Satellites currently installed. So exactly in the same boat as the OP. Is there something I should know about problems with putting in an Outdoor Satellite as third satellite before I start?
  
  I can still return to Amazon if this is not a good configuration. Didn't think about the fact the outdoor version won't have a RJ45 jack to get to it directly... that could be a problem.

    Got it working... had to call support but through a series of reboots and manual SYNC's it's working!

Hello naseerkhan,

You should not have any issues syncing your Outdoor Satellite to your existing Orbi system. Please refer to the link below to manually sync your Outdoor Satellite:

  Hi Christian,
  
  Thanks for the link. I'll give it a try soon. I'd held off till I heard further and didn't have chance to see further forum posts till just now. Glad to see the OP got it working too...
