How to place Orbi RBK853 Satellite in Extender mode? Abandoning this system for now.
Hi all, Like many of you I've had a ton of issues since the last firmware update on Orbi RBK850 with constant drops and disconnects, so I'm switching back to my old Netgear Nighthawk XR700 and I ...
That's the problem, it's not syncing wirelessly or I'm not doing it right. I press the sync button on the Orbi router when I plug it in my office but it's not working. Oh, and I now have a solid blue light on the Orbi satellite (was previously Magenta) so it looks like that's connected.
You have to press the sync button on the RBR AND the RBS on the first sync. After that you should only need to plug it in. Sounds like it's working.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
