RBS50 as a satellite or extender

Question

Hi,Bought a package deal awhile ago which came with one RBS50 and two RBS20s. &nbsp;I bought two packages so I have two RBS50s. &nbsp;Can i use the second RBS50 as an additional satellite? If so how to do reset and start configuring that RBS50 to be a satellite?

do you mean you have 2 RBR50s?The RBS devices are compatible between versions (not AX). But you can't set an RBR as an RBS.&nbsp;RBR-RouterRBS-satellite

I just double-checked - This is actually an RBS50 that I cannot configure to add to my existing network. When i hit the reset button, i get a red power flashing light and not amber. Is that the correct way to reset it?

yes, you push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds.When you let off and give it time to boot, what happens?&nbsp;

It reboots after pressing and holding the button. &nbsp;Once rebooted I begin the process of pairing again from the App. &nbsp;It asks me to press the sync button and the app doesn't recognize the RBS50 to add it to the network. &nbsp;

You mean pressed both sync buttons, correct?https://kb.netgear.com/31018/How-do-I-sync-my-Orbi-router-and-satellite&nbsp;
