Adding an extra Satellite while on AP mode
Hi there,
I have 1 router and 2 satellites (RB853). All are linked through Ethernet cables in the house.
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?
Should I add the 3rd satellite through the webpage http://orbilogin.net/MNU_access_setRecovery_index.htm by linking my Macbook directly to the router itself? It is also connected through Ethernet in one of the rooms.
Thanks,
Francis

You can add more RBS.
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.
Use manual sync button method or with the RBRs Ui to add a RBS.
