Sync Orbi RBS50Y outdoor satellite to new Orbi
This doesn't have enough upvotes. Thank you for the clear step-by-step. After countless hours, this was the fix that worked for me.
A couple things I'll add:
- To update firware, you'll need to download the firmware from netgear before connecting to the NETGEAR_EXT local wifi. Search for "RBS50Y latest firware extender mode".
- In the Smart Setup wizard there are 3 password options for both 2GHz and 5GHz: create new, copy router, or leave unsecured. During the first connection, select Leave Unsecured. You can change this after it's connected to the router.
Cheers!
