I've tried moving the satellite closer, futher away, resetting it, powering it on and off, etc. I've tried using the hard sync button on my router as well as trying through iOS and the web portal. Please help!
If you have Daisy Chain enabled then the RBS50Y will try to connect to either the router or the satellite in your existing RBK50.
Please disable Daisy Chain and try the Sync again.

When I chated with techsupport they said the unit is bad and I needed to return it. I currnetly only have the RBR plugged in so the new RBSY only has the RBR to comunicate with.

Would be best to return it and if you can get one from Amazon, then that unit should be covered under NG support and warranty.

You did note the comment about daisy chain right?
Even tho tech support says it is dead, it may not be.
I would double check that before calling it quits.
