RBS 50 added to RBR750

Can a RBS50 satellite be added to the RBR750 system?

  • Only via ethernet cable can RBS50s work with Orbi AX. There not wirelessly compatible.

      It actually seems like cabled connection does not either work.  Just purchased 750 and was going to use two of my RBS 50 satelites... what a waste of money.  Have had 50 router for 3 years, and it died two days ago. I am starting to wonder about the quality from Netgear here.  I would really have expected better from them.

        Well I think NG never intended for the Orbi AC RBS to work at all with Orbi AX. I think for a time they did work wired, however trying with my 1 RBS50 to my Orbi AX, it wouldn't fully connect right or sync. I think that loop hole ws closed in recent FW versions.
