You can install the RBS from the 2nd system. The RBR from the 2nd system can only work in router mode or in AP mode. Not as a satellite.&nbsp;

I installed very Well the rbs satellite to my existing orbi network and it works fine 😉My problem now is that I can’t erase the previois configuration of the second RBR.The factory reset doesn’t works at all and I face the previous name and mainly the previous password…:-(

Try a 30-30-30 reset process. Be sure you follow the process correctly:
