Is RBS 40 satellite compatible with RBK53-100ES ?

I tried to link my extra bought RBS40 satellite (my third satellite) to my existing Orbi RBK53-100PES home wifi system. But I believe this is not compatible. 

 

What can I do to link and add this single RBS40 to my actual 3 devices (1 router and 2 sats) RBK50-100PES system ?

 

Thanks !

      Hi, my experience is different. I added a RBS40 on V2.1.4.16 to a RBR50/RBS50 set (V2.2.0.66 beta) without any issues. Maybe I am just lucky?

    Hi JaapB,

     

    Welcome to NETGEAR Community! 

     

    You can connect the RBS40 to the RBR50 just by pushing the sync button on both the Orbi router and the satellite.
