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:
"How do I setup my Orbi Voice RBS40V in Extender Mode?"

the trick is the Sync button and the SSID show the EXTENDER_EXT, so now my RBS40V is working with another router.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a RBS40V (not RBS40V-200) but reading your thread looks like you have the same model like me (RBS40V) and you talk about that your device was in extender mode, How were you able to make it in extender mode? because I understand that only the model RBS40V-200 allows it to be both, extender and orbi mode.
Thanks
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

You did this, and it worked?
Would have been a lot easier if this had been mentioned in the Product Data Sheet, Installation Guide, or the User Manual.
hi,
If it works wonderfully, I was already disappointed by the simple fact of wasting a great product, but when I did one last search on Google,voilĂ ! the answer!!, and exactly what you say, why the userÂŽs manual does not contemplate that and you end up finding it in a KB, well today something new to learn, let's share wisdom đ
