I would recommend that you use a wired PC and web broswer to set up the RBR750 first while it's not connected to the ISP modem/ONT. You can set it up and get it configured to similar or using same, most settings, as what the RBS50 uses. Mainly the SSID name and PW. Once you have the RBR750 setup well, power it off. Reboot the ISP Moden or ONT, while it reboots take the WAN cable from the modem/ONT from the RBR50 and connect it to the RBR750 and out it ON. The RBR750 should come online and connect to the ISP Modem/ONT. One the RBR750 is online, power OFF The RBR50. All wireless devices should auto migrate and connect to the RBR750.
