How can you connect to the RBS50Yv2 to review its Configuration in Extender Mode Orbi Outdoor Sat
I have an Orbi Outdoor Extender (RBS50Yv2) and I think it is functioning properly in Extender mode, not Orbi mode, but I want to review the configuration but I seem unable to connect to it. I see t...
Seems that maybe the RBS50Y may not be connected to anything. While in Extender mode it should be wirelessly connected to a Orbi system and when fully connected, should be using the same SSID name as the host Orbi system and should be able to access it's web page at it's IP address given to it by the host Orbi system.
What model# Orbi system do you have with the RBS50Y?
Thanks for the reply : )
The extender is connected to the an Orbi Pro WiFi6 system. It is definitely connected, because I have done some testing and confirmed that more distant devices are not connected when the unit is unplugged and when I plug it back in the LED's glow Blue and then those distant devices connect once again. When I log into the Insight App I simply cannot find the device IP address by searching for the device and the MAC address.
To see the RBS50Y, you can try using the Orbi app. I don't believe the Insight app is supporting of the Orbi Home product line. Orbi app is the Orbi home product line that supports that.
