My orbi rbs 850 won't connect to my rbk752 system
As far as I can see on the compatibility list these two should go together. I have been more than satisfied with my rbk752 and therefore wanted to expand it now that I needed something for a bigger ho...

- GandeDKFeb 13, 2024AspirantFunny you link to the page where netgear itself says it should be compatible, hence my purchase of the 850 😉
When connecting with ethernet cable it adds the 850 as a router/device (similar to how it would add a computer to the device list), but it doesn't add it to the system itself 😞- FURRYe38Feb 13, 2024Guru - Experienced User
What FW is loaded on the 850 and 750 system.
Did you first turn OFF the 750 RBS and then try to sync the 850 RBS to the 750 RBR using the Add Satellite feature on the RBRs web page?
What happens if you ethernet connect the RBS to the back of the RBR?
- GandeDKFeb 17, 2024AspirantFw on the rbr750 is 7.2.6.21.
I can't check on the rbs850 because it either doesn't have connection to the Internet or if I turn on the rbr it only reads that one. Any idea on how to check the rbs fw besides ethernet cable into a computer?
If I connect the rbs to the rbr by ethernet it only reads as another device. Just as my phone, console or any other thing, but it doesn't give me access to any information besides name and Mac adress
