Orbi RBS760 satellites not sharing network password from RBR750 / RBS750
I had an Orbi #RBR750 Router and 1 #RBS750 satellite set up with no problems with the same SSID and password combo being shared across the 2 units in the network I have since added a further 2 x ...

Are there any advanced settings I need to administer to make the 760 Satellites share SSID and PW with the 750 Router and satellite?
Interesting that the RBS760 satellites appear to sync with the RBR750 router, but do not "work" correctly.
Netgear's published compatibility chart shows the 760 satellites as "not compatible" with the 750 router:

Seems a bit cruel to "almost work".
Yes, I appear to have accidentally ordered the 760 rather than the 750 as I had checked the compatibility when researching and I must have clicked the wrong model on Amazon options when actually ordering.
It is interesting that the 760's do work and give great in wifi from the network but they just have their own unique SSID's and PW's. This is kind of fine in the short term but I do want to set up wireless speakers across the house on one network which this wont allow me to do.
Do you think this will be resolved in a firmware update?
Thank youy
