Using RBR750 as a Satellite? Currently have RBS850 in use with Netgear Router

Was looking to purchase an additional satellite (we have 4 floors and a basement and 4 Orbi satellites) and accidentally purchased RBR750.

 

Is there any way to use RBR750 as a satellite or is it best to return and purchase another RBS850?

    No. The RBR750 cannot be used as a satellite on any Orbi system (750, 850, 350... doesn't matter.)

    Return it.  Sorry.

      Thank you!  I *think* that RBS750 and RBS850s can both be used with Netgear Routers, though - anyone have experience with this?

        The RBS from Orbi AX systems can only be used with the Orbi AX RBR units. They will not sync or connect to NH Nighthawk model routers or MESH systems, thus are not compatible.
