Associate Sattelite of Kit #2 to Router of Kit ~1
Hello I Have two Kits SXK80 K1 and K2 with 1 router and 2 satellites in each kit. K1 works fines in AP mode, K1 Router is connected to switch N3 on our network and the 2 K1 satellites are connected...
If you buy a kit, Kn satellite is by default paired with Kn router. You have 2 router. You need to note something:
1. If a SXR80 is under another SXR80, both of them need to be router mode because they will sync internally if one of them is AP mode.
2. powered on K2 satellite by default will connect an online K2 router. To pair with K1, you need to turn off K2 router first and reset K2 satellite. Make K1 router online, reset K2 satellite and push wps button to wirelessly pair them. Once K2 satellite is connected to K1 Router, K2 satellite will not connect K2 router.
Thank you very much for your response BruceGuo 🙂
To be clear, my goal is
- use K1 router, not to use K2 router (maybe I will keep it as backup)
- use K1 sat and K2 sat connected to K1 router
- All router and satellites are in the same network 192.168.5.x
- I want that new computers connected with Orbi Wifi or Ethernet of Orbi are in this same network 192.168.5.x
- I don't want router starts a dhcp server (and I hope it's not the default) because of conflicts with my actual dhcp server in AD.
- and obviously, I want that all orbi works in mesh mode with ethernet wired (space between two orbi is to big)
To make this I will
- I will switch my K1 router to Router mode (and check if dhcp server is desactivated)
- K1 router is connected to my network on the switch with Yellow plug
- K1 sat and K2 sat all connected to other switch on the same network (I have 6 switch connected with fiber)
- Add each sat (K1 or K2) with Sync Button
Is it ok like that ?
must I do something else to reach my goal ?
Thank you again
