Cannot integrate extra RBS850 to existing RBK853 mesh
Hello, I've purchased an additional RBS850 satellite to add to my exiting RBK853 system, when i connect this RBS to my RBR the led indicator turn blue, so there is a connection but this additional ...

This is/was not the problem.
Complete system was/is wired backhaul.
How may satellites can be connected to the RBR, when it (the RBR itself) is in AP mode?
I've performed a complete new setup of the system.
In the beginning the RBR is in router-mode, and all the satelittes are connected the right way, they are all (3) synced.
But when i put the RBR in AP mode, one sattelite will not connect the right way, it is out of sync.
So i connected first one rbs (when RBR is in AP mode) and synchronized it, than i turned of the power of this rbs (nr. 1), than i connected nr. 2 and also nr. 3 and synchronized them also. When nr. 2 and 3 where connected (up and running) i powered up nr. 1 (it was allready synchronized before) all the 3 rbs are synchronized now. And problem solved!

When i look in the webpage of te RBR it says the Backhaul is out of sync (see picture).
The problem is that the satellite is not synced with the router, that's why it still has own SSID and own management password, .....
- You need to make sure to complete the sync. Please make sure the cable connecting the satellite is not the issue, if you can bring the satellite near the router and connect it with a short working cable.
- Press the sync button on the satellite and the router and wait until the led on the satellite turns blue. Repeat the procedure until you see that the satellite connection is "Good" and you don't see any longer the status "Out of Sync".

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
