How to get an RBS40 working with nighthawk rax120 ?
Hi
Is it possible to add and rbs40 to an rax120 router ?
Want to use the rbs40 as an extender
How should it be setup in that case ?
rbs40 is wired
the rbr40 is broken ,

The RBS40 is a satellite. You need an Orbi hub to make it work.

As the sat has been in the network eariler , cfg with the same wifi settings as the rax router it seems to work .......
the orbi sat is connected via wire to a diffrent part of the house , and there is full wifi coverage , if the sat is turned off it became a deadspot
and if i login to the sat i can see devices connected to it

I have noticed that if the RBS is initially setup with a Orbi router, and you remove the Orbi router and replace it with a non Orbi router, leaving the RBS connected via LAN cable, the RBS seems to work well as a wired AP. I would presume that if the RBS was factory reset that it would need to be setup with the Orbi router again to make it work as the RBS doesn't have any settings in it's UI for configuration. It's configuration is automatic from the Orbi router.
