Netgear Orbi Voice RBS40V I can't Set up with a router that is not an Orbi
My Netgear Orbi Voice RBS40V cannot be configured as an Extender following the guide to configure my Orbi voice as an extender when I don't have an Orbi router: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/f...
First many thanks for your assistance and good news! I found the solution of how you set up in extender mode the RBS40V (without -200 model or Ver. 1), the solution is in this link:

the trick is the Sync button and the SSID show the EXTENDER_EXT, so now my RBS40V is working with another router.
Thanks
Might help to check the specific model number on the product label (bottom of the case).
Version 1 is compatible only with Orbi routers:

Version 2 has two separate 'modes', Orbi satellite and WiFi Extender:
