RBS50 Add on Sattelite
I puchased a Orbi system bundle with a router (RBR50) and 2 sattelite (RBS50) a while back. I added an outdoor sattelite without any issues. Recently, I tried to add one more sattelite. This satte...
FW on the new RBS may be older and thus not able to sync with whats currently being used.
Try this with the new RBS50:

Wire connect 1 PC to the back of the RBS. Factory reset the RBS, wait about 5 minutes. The PC will get a IP address from the satellite📡. The RBS will be 192.168.1.250. Use this IP address in a web browser to log in to the satellites web page. Log in as admin and password. Use the satellites 📡 web page FW update feature to select the FW update file that was unpacked from the .zip file. Then factory reset and then re-sync the satellites 📡 to the RBR.
yes it is an RBS50 (not a v2). I bought a used RBK50 pack that came with router and sattellite because it was cheaper than just buying a sattelite. I am not using the router from that purchase and just trying to add the sattelite to my exisiting router and thee sattelites. All my current equipment is running the latest firmware version (V2.7.3.22). Thanks.
