Connecting rbr50 sat to rbr40 router/?
hi. I have an rbr40 router with 2 sat. I got gifted rbr50 router with 1 sat.
whats the best way to hook all these up? Do<I create rbr50 router and add 2 rbr40 stats with 1 rbr50 sat? I have a 200...
Best thing would be to update all to same version of FW and use the 50 series as your main system and add on one of the RBS40s in the remote office. For that size of home, you only really need the RBR and maybe 1 RBS. Having more RBS can cause problems. 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR📡 and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://youtu.be/UR0viMLISz4
COOL THANKS..So just create a new network with rbr50 as router....then add rbr50 sat in living room and then add rbr40 out in back office....dumb question if you don't mind...
updating FW is done by logging in to Orbi app? Or is there a way to see if I have updated ...
Kinda luddite here so appreciate your patience.
Orbi app or web ui will show FW versioning.
Can manually update thru a PC if needed:
