RBS750 Not "Meshing"
I recently purchased a 750 system with a router and two satellites. We have a very long house. The internet cable enters at one end of the house. That's where the RBR750 is located. The first RBS...
Might move the closer RBS to the RBR a bit farther away from the RBR. 30 feet distance is starting distance.
Try powering OFF both RBS, Power ON the closer RBS to the RBR and let it sync. Then power ON the farther RBS and see if it will sync to the middle RBS.
What FW is loaded on the RBS and RBR?

V7.2.6.31_5.0.24 I think this is the most current version.
Your suggestion worked, but not in the way I expected. I moved the closer RBS750 about 5 feet farther from the router, which put in the same room as the further RBS750. I unplugged the further and plugged it back in after the nearer booted up. The nearer RBS750 showed a "poor" connection to the router (in the admin app - which I have to say is handier than the Orbi app.). But the further connected to yet another RBS750 that I didn't previously mention. At that time I had not added it to the system. The third RBS750 is connected to the router via wire t get it configured. Its in the same room as the router, but about 7 feet lower. That satellite is what the further connected to with a "good" connection. So weird. But there is a lot of ductwork and pipes in the basement ceiling. I think the angle of the backhaul transmission from the further satellite to the 3rd satellite gets under the obstacles. I have some placement experimentation to do.
Thank you for your help.
