Adding an extra Satellite while on AP mode

Question

Hi there,&nbsp;I have 1 router and 2 satellites (RB853).&nbsp;All are linked through Ethernet cables in the house.&nbsp;&nbsp;I put the router in AP mode, so it seems that I cannot use the app on my iPhone to add another 3rd satellite I just purchased, correct?&nbsp;&nbsp;Should I add the 3rd satellite through the webpage&nbsp;http://orbilogin.net/MNU_access_setRecovery_index.htm&nbsp;by linking my Macbook directly to the router itself? It is also connected through Ethernet in one of the rooms.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;Francis&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

You can add more RBS.&nbsp;
You may need to ensure the FW is the same version on the new RBS as whats loaded on the current system. Needs to be the same:

I add through the website as the app doesn't work in ap mode, correct? I tried with the app but it did not work.&nbsp;

Use manual sync button method or with the RBRs Ui to add a RBS.&nbsp;
