Wild guess you talk of these two links:
How do I set up my Orbi Outdoor Satellite in 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.

Well, I know that it is definitely NOT flash the EXT version of the firmware first. I tried that and it said it was not a valid or correct file.

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

If you can't seem to get it working, you might contact NG support and have them help you out. Sounds like someting is missing from the setup steps.
