ORBI RBR53 Bad Router RBR 50
Lightening strike hit router. Router was sending out wireless, but could not connect to internet, now wireless SSID does not show up on wireless network connections and ethernet cable shows no lights...
Yes you can use the RBS to connect to the new RBR. If you set up the new RBR with the same SSID and PW as the old RBR, then the RBS should reconnect with out having to re-sync...however if they don't, a re-sync maybe needed.
Users have reported up to having 6 RBS connected. I think 3 or 4 is officially supported by NG.

Great thanks Furrye38, I will get a new RBR 50 and then give it a try and let you know.

Furrye38,
Thanks for the input. I now have a RBR50 supporting 4 satelittes in my home. All synched in and system is working fine. Setup was and is always a little tricky as I believe the firmware for set up an din general in RBR 50 is bit fragile and each set up step needs to be done slowly and methodically . Example I did a firmware upgrade 3 times same way. Reason for 3 times... some times the upgrade aborted and then systyem showed the old version number in IPAD app. The 4th time upgrade worked and version number was correct. Many other examples of firmware functions that don't work consistently.
But, I am back up and running smoothly. Now gotta get much better protection against lightening !!!

Ya FW updates on Orbi can be tricky. Glad you got your system back up and running.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
