ORBI RBK50 with RBS50S and RBS40 and RBS50Y
Hello all, i realy need your help. I own a ORBI RBK50 with the RBS50 satellite. All works fine. One WLAN SSID visible (ORBI70). Than i bouth an additional satellite. Sync started to RBK50 - works fi...
What Firmware is currently loaded?
Regarding your ISP modem:
Modem Combo Units:
This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
I recommend trying option #2.
I recommend changing the default SSID on the RBR50 to something else. Something more custom. For example: Piatz
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
Check to see if Daisy chain is enabled or not. Disable it if it is.
Try enabling Beamforming and MIMO(MIMO may or maynot be needed) and WMM. Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings.

Sync started to RBK50 - works fine and all ok. Some month later i bought again an satellite for outdoor (RBS50Y) - started sync and all was working fine with the one visible WLAN SSID (ORBI70). Than i had some problems with my router (Fritzbox 7580) and i had to reset all satelittes. Now all is strange - Visible WLAN SSID´s are now ORBI70 + ORBI32 + ORBI74. i can connect to all of this but i want to have only one SSID running. In the Orbi app it shows that all satelittes are offline (see attachment) on my windows PC it shows that all satelittes are online. What can i do to have a stable WLAN with only one visible SSID wich covers 2.4 and 5 GHz.. thanks in advance
