Having an issue with Orbi 2nd satelite

Question

Hi, so I have a bit of a WiFi not spot. So I had the solution to get a satellite.
I noticed that a complete system was same price as satellite. So I bout the 2nd system as I thought. Brilliant 2 satellites for the price of one.
&nbsp;
I have now realised that for some obscene reason this is not the case.
&nbsp;
So I thought I would cut my losses and instead use the satellite as an extra satelite. However for all the tea in China I cannot not get the satelite connected. Presumably it is configured for the other network.
&nbsp;
How can I connect so that the satelite works with the existing network?
&nbsp;
Ps someone mentioned I could run the two networks together with the same SSID,&nbsp; is that right or more hassle than it is worth?
&nbsp;
Thanks

What is the FW currently loaded on the current Orbi system and satellites? 
&nbsp;
You sould need to probably update the FW on the newer satellite if it has never been udpated...

How can I achieve this if it won't connect in the first place?&nbsp;

Hello Pmcgarryuk,&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Can you confirm how many routers and&nbsp;satellites you have&nbsp;

Originally a router and satellite, then I purchased another router and plug in satellite.Given I can't use the 2nd router I am hoping to use the plug in satellite. So 1 router and 2 satellites.Thanks Paul

When you attempt to sync the additional satellite to the original router, what color is the LED ring on the additional satellite?&nbsp;
