Any LAN port devices support to Orbi RBK53?
Hello Guys, I just got my RBK53 today and both satellites I have put on second floor, but there’s no extra satellites for me to connect LAN to my CCTV DVR (my main router is far from my DVR). My quest...

I pair my asus router in bridge mode with my satellite
Hi, I have use the method you shared. But it also not found my home network.
**My ASUS (Repeater/Media Bridge Mode/AP) is just beside my dvr, and my Orbi Router is same floor with the ASUS. Is it because my ASUS can’t receive 5ghz so the Orbi network not appear?

Your Asus router only supports 2.4Ghz. Your Orbi supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, so it shouldn't matter if your Asus doesn't recognize 5Ghz because 2.4Ghz is sufficient.
Can you send us a screen shot of:
- On your Orbi, Wireless Setup. What 2.4Ghz channel and what security option do you have? Do you have any unusual characters in your SSID or Password?
- On your Asus router, Advanced...Wireless...General. You might need to to set Authentication Method to match your Orbi's security option (WPA2-Personal?). You might need to play with Channel bandwidth (20/40) and Wireless Mode (Auto).
- This is my Orbi Wireless setting.
**in Router mode - On my ASUS, it can choose Repeater/Media Bridge/Access Point/Router mode.
I only can see the setting of wireless in router mode. - if I use TPLINK Wireless n Access Point 801D also unable to find my wireless network.
- Just a quick update to all, I used my TPLINK connect to Orbi router by LAN (Access Point Mode) and my ASUS router as bridge media mode. It worked! Now I try to get range extender or anything else instead of using TP Link as my AP
