Orbi RBR40 router set up as AP to RBR50 router
Hi, I have an Orbi AC3000 wifi sytem which includes the RBR50 router, RBS50 satelite, RBS50Y satelite and RBW30 satelite (see photo). I´m trying to set up a supplemental RBR40 router as a simple ...
As long as the SSIDs are different between the RBR50 and RBR40 and the RBSs are already synced to the RBR50, then they should remain connected to the RBR50 only.
Yes, I agree FURRYe38, the satelites should remain connected to the RBR50 only. I don´t understand why the RBR40 screws up my network. I´ll have to do do some more "trial and erroring" after the summer. Right now it´s time for summer vacation:-)
It shouldn't if the chanels are set far appart between the 50 series system the the RBR40. Do more testing when you get time.
Enjoy.
Hi again,
Just to conclude this discussion, I tried setting up my RBR40 as an AP again after a long summer break. I tried setting the RBR40 wireless channels as 1 for 2.4GHz and 48 for 5GHz as suggested. Alas, to no avail. Again, the RBR40 kept connecting to my satelites. I will keep the RBR40 as a backup router and have added an RBS20 satelite to my shopping list. Thanks all.
