I was looking for info about if I can use two Orbi RBS350 satellites to an Orbi RBR750 router
Hi!
I just saw this chatt when I was looking for info about if I can use two Orbi RBS350 satellites to an Orbi RBR750 router, I chatted with Netgear and got the answer that it is not possible, but ...
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡
Ok, do I understand you correct now? 😇
Can I continue to have the satellites wireless linked to the RBR350-router even though I turn it into an AP as long as the RBR350-router are wired as an AP to my new RBR750 router?
And do I continue to use the same FW-version that I have now on my RBK353-kit (RBR350 FW version: v4.4.1.29_3.10.80 and RBS350 FW version: v4.4.1.29) and at the same time use the latest FW-version on my new RBR750-router? (FW-version 7.2.6.21)
WOW, how little I understand of this, is much more to think about than I thought from the beginning.! 😅
Cheers!
Yes to all.
Ya, it's crazy. I think you understand. 😉
Ok, nice.!!
But will it still be one network? It's not going to be two networks as the firmware is different on the different devices and since the satellites still are connected to the RBR350 AP, I mean won't the RBR750 be "stand alone" in its own wireless connection and the RBK350-kit be "stand alone" in its own network?
I think I'm making this more advanced than it is in my head, sorry for the million questions.!🤔🙂
No, will be two separate networks.
Ok, but I would like to create a separate network and for that to work I need to use FW v4.6.14.3 on both the RBR750 router, the RBR350 router that is converted to an Access Point and the satellites, right?
And to connect the system, I first (1) do a new installation of my RBR750 router, (2) connect my satellites one by one via networkcable then download and install FW v4.6.14.3 on them, (3) after that I install the same FW on my RBR750 router (4) and finally I install the same FW on my RBR350 router and then configure it to an AP (or do I have to make the RBR350 an AP first and then install FW on it)?
If so, this is the steps to follow:
1. Install RBR750 router.
2. Update satellites to FW v4.6.14.3.
3. Update RBR750 to FW v4.6.14.3.
4. Update and configure BRB350 to AP with FW v4.6.14.3.
5. Plug in and connect everything.When it comes to the cable connection between BRB750 and RBR350, do I use the yellow internet input on the RBR350 as a connection? Is my wiring diagram correct or should points 3 and 4 be swapped?
Thank you so much for the guided tour, you have been a huge help!
