Trying to sync SXS80 with another router than the one iit was delivered with
HI. I need 5 AP units for full coverage across our facility, so i purchased 2 orbi 6000 3-packs, looking to use only the satelites from the second pack together with the first pack. Got the first pack up and running, but whatever i do, i cannot get the satelites from the second 3-pack to sync with the router of the first.
when running the sync in the admin browser, the magenta ligt comes on after a while. The satelite becomes visible with SSID that was preconfigured as part of the second pack. The behaviour is conistent for both for both satelites from the second pack
- Thx. This is what I have done all along. Found a thread suggesting that I did the sync had wired. This worked!

try hardwiring the satellite into the router and syncing it. (give it a bit).
Make sure they're on the same firmware.
when you disconnect it, it should stay sync'd
Hi pellison ,
Please follow below mentioned steps, it will help you to add satellites wihtout any issue
Press the reset button in the second 3-pack's satellite, after satellite reboot and booting up around 3 mins, running the sync in the admin browser and prepss the wps button in satellite, it only allows to connect one satellite each time, please try it in each second 3-pack's satellite.
Because we don't know what configurations are there in second 3-pack's satellites, so reset is the better option to make sure everything works well.
Thanks,
Basavaraj
