Changing a CBR750 into a RBS750 Satellite
I have an Orbi Mesh CBR750 with 3 satellites. I also have a spare CBR750 that I would like to make into another satellite. I'm running V4.6.14.4_2.3.12 on the current CBR750 but don't know what the spare one is running. My satellites are running V4.6.14.3.
I have read that some have done this. I have read that it is easy by just hardwiring the spare CBR to my current one and running it through the Orbi app or web page to add another satellite.
I also read that you can only do it by flashing the CBR750 with the firmware of the RBS750. If so, how do I do that?
And lastly, through my research on this, I have read that it isn't possible to make the CBR750 a satellite.
So, which is it? And how?
Thank you

Due to the CBR having both Modem and Router in HW, the CBR only supports modem only mode or Gateway mode with the router enabled. There is no options for making it a satellite.
One could make a faux AP mode from the 2nd CBR is about all that you can do.
