RBS20 without an ORBI router
Hello !
I just got an ORBI RBS20 satellite, i already have a router with Wi-Fi (Tp-Link TD-W8961N), and i'm having trouble setting it up and i've read that you need an ORBI router to sync it, i wanted to know if and how i can sync it with my router, or at least can i use it as a acces point or a repeater without the advanced functionalities.
thank you !

I think your chances are between slim and none. Sorry.
Orbi satellites work with Orbi routers.
End of story.
Your best bet is to return the RBS20 and buy a standalone wifi extender.
