Yes, they have all the Same firmware: V7.2.6.21

IF all is loaded with same version of FW, then using the RBRs web page to Add Satellite to the system should work. I recommend turning OFF all other currently connected RBS while you get the incoming RBS connected.

 

How many RBS are deployed? 
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
