Orbi 960 system and 850 satellites - Confirmed working
Just so folks know, the 850 satellites will work with the 960 system. I saw some previous posts that thought otherwise but I have the system up and working fine right now. One is hard wired into 960 router and the other is using wireless backhaul. Both are working fine.

Really...what FW version are you using on the 8 and 9 series?
Please post a screen capture of the 9 series connected clients page...And what was the process to get them synced?
Sure, see attached (Scrubbed out Mac addresses etc).
960's running v6.0.3.85_3.1.15 and 950's running V4.6.9.11
Process was like normal: I hard reset the 850s with a needle, initiated the satellite pairing sequence on the orbi web interface, plugged in the 850s again to power, when prompted I hit the sync button on the 850 and then it relatively quickly indicated it found the satellite and paired.
Once paired, I moved one to another room wireless backhaul and the other I attached to ethernet for backhaul, which didn't require any tweaks to config. Just spun right up.
Wow, confirmed:
Can access the RBS web page.
Interesting it seems connected at WPA3:
Wondering if this would be backwards compatible with non WPA3 devices. Mixed WPA2 and WPA3 is set on the RBRE960.
7 series RBS working now too:
Thought the status reported Wired for unknown reason when the RBS was synced wirelessly.
Can you post a screen capture of the statistic page from the RBR while you have the RBS850 connected to the system?
