I just purchased the RBK850 (router and satellite) to replace my current RBR50 with 2 RBS50sRBR850=Firmware Version: V3.2.17.12_1.4.14RBS850=Firmware Version: V3.2.17.12_1.4.14 I have an existing RBS50 Firmware Version: V2.7.2.102 wired 1gig /cat5E to my New RBR850 along with my RBS850 that is wired 1gig /cat5E.I notice that no wireless devices are currently register to the RBS50 for some reason?I read I can use the older satellite on the RBR850 so not sure what the issue might be. I do have a laptop cat5 wired to the switch of the RBS50 so I know the RBS50 is working, at least wiredAny thoughts?

Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system been performed since last update? I did a factory reset Sunday:

Does the RBS-50 show up in the Attached Devices list as a Satellite? If so, what does it show as backhaul status?

Yes it doesIt shows WIRED and GOODno devices are connected via Wi-Fi2.4 and 5ghz is enabled

Do devices supposedly connnected to the RBS50 get internet services thru the RBS? Possible that there is a compatibility and sync issue with RBS50s ethernet connected to Orbi systems. Overall, Orbi AC RBS are not supported on Orbi AX. ssgtweasel wrote:Yes it doesIt shows WIRED and GOODno devices are connected via Wi-Fi2.4 and 5ghz is enabled

A laptop with cat6 is connected to the RBS50 that is connected to my core 1gb switchSo the data switch portion of the RBS50 is workingNo devices are connected wireless to the RBS50Will disable my RBS850 satellite to see if the wireless devices that used to connect to the RBS50 will do so again

RBS50 wired to RBR850 is connected but no devices registered via wifi?

  "RBS50 that is connected to my core 1gb switch"

    Hello, I have the same problem. Were you able to figure out how to get WI-FI devices connected to the RBS50 wired as a satellite to the RBR850?
