Not seeing Orbi Outdoor in Router
I am brand new to the ORBI router. I have a 750 with 1 satellite. I did not get sufficient signal to our detached garage to operate one camera and my garage door opener. Support recommended that I ge...
Did you get the RBS50Y outdoor RBS? IF so, this won't work in Orbi mode with the Orbi AX system. The RBS50Y needs to have the Extender Mode FW applied, then it will work, however won't show as a satellite in the same location as indoor RBS. Will be just listed as a device.
I have the RBS50Yv2. It appears to be working fine. Outdoor signal is great. Just can't see it in the router – like it doesn’t exist.
Since it cannot operate as a "satellite" on the 750 system, it will appear in the list of Attached Devices as a device. Perhaps if you go through the entire list, there will be one device that you do not recognize?
Another tactic is to look at the product label on the bottom of the RBS50Y and record the WiFi MAC address.*
If that MAC address appears in the table of Attached Devices, you have found it.
* Depending on how the RBS50Y was mounted, this may be physically challenging.
Finally got off support with Netgear and they confirmed it is defective so I am not nuts. I could not see the MAC address which was what my original issue was-it was not there. Replacement!!!
