I had similar experience with RBS40V, not the extender version.
Check the firmware on the router. It should not be higher than the satelite. I just spent a day trying to figure out why my RBS40V with firmware 2.6.2.4 couldn't connect to RBR40 with 2.7.2.104. I had to downgrade firmware on the router first to 2.6. But wait for it, Netgreat suggested for automated firmware update the 2.7!!! For RBS40V 2.6 is the last firmware available. So 2.7 on router basically kills RBS40V satelites.
