What is new? My wish list: 1.Wireless connectivity to Orbi Outdoor WiFi Range Extender (RBS50Y) since it is only wireless with no Ethernet ports. 2. Wireless connectivity to RBS50 satellite. It wa...
I agree that enabling wireless connectivity to Gen 1 Orbi will be nice. It will be great to be able to make use of existing HW.
I think the wireless connectivity to Gen1 Orbi will come in a maintenance release soon.
Hi, how did you get your RBS50 to connect to our RBR850? I have a RBR850 with two wireless RBS850's and I tried to cable an older RBS50 but it wasn't recognized. Just came up with the default router ssid and wouldn't sync, etc? thanks!

My 2 x RBS50s are hard wired back through a NG switch to the RBR850.
Just plug them in and they will be recognized.
Wireless doesnt work (yet) for RBR850 to RBS50 backhaul.
- Thanks! Interesting experience. My rbr850 is in AP mode wired into another router. I pin reset the rbs50 and cabled it to one of the LAN ports on the back of the rbr850 and it recognized and configured it perfectly and showed the third satellite.
I then moved it to another area and cabled it to one of my standard router ports on the same switch as the rbr850 and although it lit up blue the rbr850 doesn't list it in the attached devices anymore. (web gui or app) - it did the first time.Try pin resetting again and connecting....
