RBS40v not synching with RBR40
I know this has been asked several times , but the answers are typically "Yes it works" , or "Bought a new one , and it works". Well I have recently purchased an RBS40V-200NAS and want to sync it...

That alone threw red flags for me , as far as security goes...maybe its a non issue.
I am one of those who added an RBS40V. I agree that there is no method on any satellite to change the WiFi Region Code. Region code is set on the Orbi router web interface, Advanced Tab, Advanced Settings, Wireless Settings. (see attached image). What does the router show for Region Code?
If it is possible to log into the RBS40V web console using the default credentials ("admin", "password"), then I believe the satellite is not sync'd to the router. Does it show up on the Orbi router web interface Attached Devices display?
I would be tempted to get out my trusty paperclip, do a Factory Reset on the RBS40V, and then perform the "Add a Satellite" routine on the Orbi router web interface. In the same room as the router because running up and down stairs to press 'sync' buttons is a recipe for falling a** over teakettle.
