Migrate from Orbi RBR20 to RBR50
Hello... I just got an RBR50 as an upgrade from my RBR20. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to get all of my configurations and static IP's copied over to the RBR50? Thanks

Alas, there is not. I would take screen shots of the relevant setup pages, print them out, and get mentally prepared to do a lot of very careful data entry.
Just personally, I would leave setting the WiFi SSID/password to the last step. Otherwise, devices will begin connecting to the new Orbi and grabbing IP addresses before you have had a chance to set up the address reservation table.
Thanks for the reply... luckily I'm in no hurry. 🙂
I saw another post mentioning mixing RBS20's and RBS50's which I think you also replied to. Is there any downside to doing that? I will have the RBR50, one RBS50 and two RBS20's. Currently my two RBS20's are not daisychained.
Hello bosdub,
I understand that you would like to integrate both RBS20 and RBS50 into your network.
The downside with that setup is that the connection between the RBR50 and the RBS20 will be limited to the network speeds that the RBS20 can handle.
Best,
Kevin
