RBS750 does not want to work
Hello, hope this make sense cause my brain is fried. I have an Orbi RBR750 with 2 RBS750 satellites that works with no issue. I bought another RBS750 from eBay since I saw there was some issues with adding others. I reset the eBay rbs and have been trying to add it to my current system without luck. I plugged it into my RBR via Ethernet and it doesn’t want to show as a satellite but when I look on the list it it shows that it is connected to the system and gives it an IP. So I though ok here we go I can get in and update the firmware to be the same as my system and then that will work… nope it ask for username and password which I put in (sticker on bottom as it was factory reset) but no go. Even tried to use the RBR username and pw not also not working. Any advise?

Possible the ebay RBS is faulty or the FW on the ebay RBS is not at the same level as the RBR and current RBS.
Try this to see if you can get access to the ebay RBS self service web page and if you can, see if you can get it updated to same version as whats on the current existing system:
