AX6000 + RBS50 Satellite's?
I'm seeing mixed messages here. Netgear tell me they won't work but I swear I've seen some posts that say they do work.... and the Orbi page says the routers are backwards compatible.... I basica...
Currently you can connect the RBS50 satellites wired (wired backhaul) to Orbi AX. Wireless backhaul support will come later.
The proof is in the pudding... look at this screen capture attached.
Notice the RBS850 is RF backhauled and the RBS50s (two of them) are hard wired. Works great.
Dang, I just sold them on Ebay but perhaps I can cancel it... my issue is I wasn't able to get it to pair while wired also it seems... Does it do it automatically or do I have to still pair them? Just connect the Ethernet and it is connected? When I did that the light was blue but I didn't check the app to see if it was recognized.... Interesting, perhaps I will keep it then if that's the case.
They pair automatically when wired. You dont have to do anything other than plug in.
- Perfect. Just tested. Cancelling the Ebay sale. $200 for 3 AC3000s way too low anyways. Has anybody tried using a wireless Ethernet adapter to plus into the adapter to get it to work or does it have to be truly wired? Thank you so much!!
