outdoor satellite
hi - just purchased the RBK752 and I know that the RBS50Y has to be set up in Extender Mode - here is my question - When I go outdoors after the set up, will the satellite seamlessly carry the wifi signal or will it switch to the Extender network?
thanks...wifiblues

it'll depend on your device and its own roaming protocol. The device (laptop/pc/phone) are what decides when to switch between access points.
thanks Plemans,
another question -this time regarding the Extender network set up for the RBS50Y to use with RBK752 - do you have a guide on the steps for setting up the Extender set up?
currently, I am using the RBS50Y in Orbi mode with my RBR40.
- there's a guide for it :)

hi all,
help!
I am trying to switch the RBS50Y from Orbi mode to Extender mode. Read and followed the directions several times. No luck. It will not switch out. I recently upgraded to the RBK752 and it is up and running. Do you think that is the issue as to why the outdoor router will not switch? I am puzzled and cannot figure it out.
any thoughts?
whats actually happening?
Did you try factory resetting it and then switching it over?
here is a description of what happens -
I plug it in - in the same room as the RBK752 router - push the sync button - push and release the powerbutton - the bottom lights up white then lights up blue - after i see the blue light - i release the sync - both lights are solid rather than pulsing - after i release the sync button, the bottom starts to try to sync to the router. now it is pulsing white - after a while it flashes magenta and stays magenta.
i have reset it a few times.
any suggestions?
