RBS50Y doesn’t connect to RBR20
I recently bought a second-hand outdoor Orbi RBS50Y. I want to connect it to my Orbi RBR20, which already has 3 indoor satellites connected to it. But the connection fails every time. What I have already tried: 1) reset the unit; 2) set the unit back to 'Orbi mode'. Could it possibly have something to do with the fact that I have my Orbi router in 'AP mode'? Do I perhaps need to set it back to 'router mode' first? I hope someone knows a solution
What happens if you set the RBR20 to router mode temporarily and then try to connect to the RBS50Y to the RBR20...
I presume that you have done a factory reset on the RBS50Y and setup from scratch...I'd turn OFF all other connected RBS while you work with the Y RBS. Have the Y RBS in same room as the RBR.
What is the brand and model# of the host router the RBR20 is connected to in AP mode?
How is the RBR20 configured for AP mode? Static IP or Dynamic IP?

What firmware is on the RBS50Y and on the RBR20?
The RBR20 is up to date. I can see that in ‘orbilogin’. I can’t see that for the RBS50Y because I can’t connect to it. Any tips on how to update the RBS50Y as a standalone?
