Cannot Pair RBS750 Satellites to RBR750P Router
I've been using the RBR750 with two RBS750 (FW 7.2.6.31) satellites with excellent reliability and ease of use for 5 years. Several days ago, after a lightening strike near the house, my router fai...
I see now that the compatibility chart clearly shows that the RBS750 is NOT compatible with the RBR750P. When purchasing the replacement system, Apparently, I need to purchase a RBS760 satellite to be compatible with the RBR750P router. I made the mistake of assuming that the 750 series model numbers would be compatible. I wish I would have looked at that chart sometime during the first hour of my time with the tech support (would have saved us 5+ hours on the phone). Thanks to each of you for your help and Merry Christmas!
Unfortunately if the RBR750 died and the newer RBR750P which is NOT a actual RBR750, and you have RBS750 actuals, you'll not be able to connect these to the P series system as these are not compatible with this P series system.
You'll need to either get another RBR750 actual model router or give up on the actual RBS750s and go with the P series system.

Could you expand on which devices you are suggesting that I re-flash? The RBR750 is dead. I have two RBS750's. Which firmware version should I upload to them?
