Using WIRELESS ORBI RBS850 with RBR750

I purchase an RBR750 and two RBS750.  Everything worked fine.  I needed more wireless coverage thinking I would switch out the RBR750 for an RBR850 with an RBS850.  Things didn’t work together.  Now I have both routers and three satellites (2-RBS750 and 1-RBS850.  I know I can only run one router and according to NETGEAR the three satellites should work with either router, but no go.  After resetting and syncing the only thing I can connect in the 750 router and the two 750 sats.  The 850 sat just blink white.

  • Be sure FW on the RBS750/850 is same version of FW as the RBR750/850. 

     

    Try syncing the RBS850 to the RBR750 with all other RBS turned OFF.

      I’m new at this.  How do you check firmware version and how to update?
