Are RBK14 Satelites compatible with older RBR50 Routers?
Are RBK14 Satelites compatible with older RBR50 Routers? Thanks.
Actually I tried it but couldn't get it to work. I should have stated that originally.
I came scross a great deal at a large national electronics retailer and got the entire 4 piece system (RBK14-100NAS) for $100
I figured since it was an Orbi, I could use the 3 satelites with my existing system but I couldn't get it to pair.
Just wondering:
- Will the satellite sync with the RBR10 base unit (router)?
There is no harm in connecting the "Internet" port on the router to one of the Orbi RBR50 LAN ports.
The RBR10 router should turn on and get an IP address from the RBR50 router.
On the LAN side, the RBR10 should create a different private IP space, probably 10.0.0.x
In other words, what they sold you can be shown to "work" as it should. - What happens if you do a "Factory Reset" on one of the satellites and then try to sync it with the RBR50 system?
I don't know if the RBK14 satelite will sync with the router it came with. I only tried to sync it to my existing system (RBR50) and it wouldn't work. Tried doing a hard reset on the satelite and it didn't work either.
No biggie. Figured I'd give it a shot.
