great opportunity to buy RBK53
I apologize if this is in violation of the rules here. And fully understand if you remove this post. Woot has a great (very limited time) price on RBK53 (router plus 2 satellites of AC3000), new...
- Exactly what i did... worked fine.
Just plug in one of the new satellites and then run the "add satellite" from the settings menu in your current Orbi App...
I then sold the remaining router and satellite and they had no problems.
I'm not even sure they came paired; distant memory of setting up my original Orbi was that it went through the "add satellite" process.
I presume that these 3 units will come pre-configured with the same network password and SSID.
I already have a RBK50 (1 satellite) set up in my house. If I buy this RBK53, can I easily use one of its 2 satellites in my house, with my current RBK50 setup? Mix-and-match satellites from an RBK-50 and an RBK53 packages, so to speak.
I plan to install the remaining (router+ 1 satellite) from the RBK53 (bought now on sale) at my in-law's house. Their house is smaller and can do with 1 satellite.
