Connect to Roost smart batteries

My smart batteries need to connect via 2.4 ghz. How do I do that with my Orbi RBS50?

    Thanks. I got them connected.  As far as Roost is concerned, they notified me that one of my batteries was running low and needed to be replaced.  I was pissed because it was only about a year old.  Then they contacted me again and said they would replace it for free because it died prematurely.  I'm happy about that but it's been about a week and no sign of a battery being shipped yet.

    They'll do that automatically.  I had them, but they die quickly, no where near as long as they're advertised.

        Yeah, I was one of those that pre-ordered them about a year before they came out... I have 18 smoke detectors, but started with just two Roosts.  Both were dead within a year.
