Something to try and see. No idea if they will work or not.
If there not AX or tri band supporting, may not work. Try disabling AX mode on the RBR.
Let us know.

Many thanks for the response. How do I disable the AX mode to try? do i have to use the orbi app to look for the google wifi?

Use a PC or Laptop and connect to the RBRs web page. It's on the wireless settings page.
You'll need to use googles app to get them connected.

I connected physically hard wired the google wifi to the Oribi satellite and it had the same network name and it actually worked. So now its like a router connected to a router. Any thoughts on how to make it connect via wifi so that these google points just become satellites of the orginal Orbi. Many thanks in advance
