How can I match the firmware between the two when the latest firmware
RE: "Yes. Just ensure the FW is the same on the RBS as what's loaded on the RBR.":
I, too, am having problems getting my newer RBR760 (router) to recognize an older RBS750 (satellite).
-How can I...
Only FW versions supported for the RBK760 series kit is v6.3.2.4. This goes for both RBR760 and RBS760.

I wondering if the RBS750 is not compatible with the RBK760 series system...The 750 series is a different version of FW. Based on v4. The 760 is all v6.
If you connect the RBS750 to the back of the RBR760, does the RBS750 appear in the RBRs connected devices page at all with a IP address?
Thought the 760 series isn't listed here, this may give you some information about how many RBS you can connect:

I have connected two separate, working RBS750s (older satellites) to the back of the RBR760 (newer router) via ethernet cable, yet, neither show up in the RBR760's connected devices. Furthermore, I did a hardware reset of one of the older satellites to no avail.
The reason that I was wondering about the maximum satellite quantity is because I already have 4 RBS760s (newer satellites) connected to the RBR760 (newer router) - and wondered if perhaps that might be why my RBR760 isn't recognizing the older RBS750s (because 4 satellites might be the max. capacity - but this seems doubtful).
