Hello Reproman,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you would like to link your RBS50Y to your new Orbi WiFi 6 network. The RBS50Y is not compatible with our Orbi Wifi 6 Mesh system. However, it can be used as an extender. Try doing a 30-30-30 reset on your RBSY then check for the SSID broadcast.

Thanks for your reply. I am familiar with the lack of compatibility of the RBS50Y with Orbi WiFi 6, which is why I had been hoping to use it in extender mode. I have tried the 30-30-30 reset several times with still no SSID broadcast on either my phone or computer. Very frustrating.
