Orbi wifi 6 system add on points not working
Hello! I recently got the orbi wifi 6 system. It is great but needed more coverage. I got the first ones from Costco and it was a 3 pack. So when I needed more coverage, I got the same pack from Cost...
Either add only the satellites from the second kit to the first set-up (preferred), or set-up the second kit in Access Point mode.
Hi, I have tried both ways and they both don't work. The satellites don't show up either if I connect them only to the first setup. If I turn on the ap mode, the first orbi router turns into ap mode as well. Please Help! Thank you in advance.

Challenge Netgear support. It must be possible to add more satellites to the first system base in router mode. Needless to say, you can't use the router/base from the second kit in this set-up.

Does not make sense to me - these are two dedicated management environments, how should the first unit be re-configured if the second one is connected as AP? ... unless I'm missing something very basic.
This is strange beucse when you log in to the orbilogin.com,the ap mode shows resetting both. So i tried connecting just the satellites again to the original system and doesn't work. I might be doing something wrong. Could you explain me the steps of hoe to connect the satellites to the original system?
