Installing new router

Currently i have the AC3000 (rbk50). I bought the AX4200 3 pack (rbk753). Is there a particular method/process in setting up the new router and satellites?

    If you set specific channels on the RBR50 then you'll need to set them on the new RBR750.

I recommend first setting up the RBR7 series using same SSID name and password used on the 50 series. 

Turn OFF the RBS50s and leave the RBR50 On. 

Connect the RBR7 series to the ISP modem and get it setup. Power OFF the ISP modem/ONT for 1 minute then back ON. 

Once the RBR750 is ON and ready, turn OFF the RBR50. All of your devices should connect to the 7 series RBR automatically. 

 

30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

    Thx.

    So then the old router settings including channel numbers will move over to the new router?
