Need Help! combine two RBK752 system
I have purchased two RBK752 systems (RBR750 *2 ,RBS750*2). One router set to router mode and the other set to AP mode, and all four of them connected with wired connection. When I login to the rout...
Orbi systems are designed with the router unit (no matter what 'mode' it is in) as the root of a WiFi system and all the satellites attached to that root as satellites on the same network. Even if they have identical names (SSIDs) and passwords, the two WiFi systems are independent.
It is not clear exactly how these units are 'wired' together.
If system A's two satellites are wired to router A, then they will appear on the Attached Devices table for router A as satellites.
Router B will appear as an Orbi device on router A's Attached Devices table.
How router B's satellites are connected determines how they appear.
- If they are connected to router B, they will appear in router B's Attached Devices table as satellites.
- If they are connected to router A, they will appear in router A's Attached Devices table as satellites.
Other manufacturers designed their products to be interchangeable, with any device acting as the 'router' and the rest acting as satellites. Netgear designed their product where the 'router' is always the hub of the system.
