RBS50Y (Outdoor Satellite) in non-Orbi Extender Mode
Supposedly you can set up the Outdoor Orbi Satellite (RBS50Y) into non-Orbi Extender mode to allow it to be an extender off of a non-Orbi router.
According to the limited documentation about...
Wild guess you talk of these two links:
How do I set up my Orbi Outdoor Satellite in Extender Mode?
RBS50Y Firmware Version 1.0.0.30 (Orbi Extender Mode)
Lots of confusion...
schumaku Those are the pieces of documentation (or lack thereof) that I am speaking of.
FURRYe38 So, from one of the posts in the thread you noted, it appears I MUST flash the other EXT firmware before I can put it into EXT (non-Orbi) mode.
Thanks to the both of you for responding. Hopefully a few more users will give some additional guidance. If not, I guess I'll dive into the deep end, and hope no rocks underneath the surface.
Let us know how it turns out. Hope it works for you.

I'll keep trying things - if I make any progress, I will update this thread.
