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.
