Devices not connecting to rbs750p satellite
Not sure if I made a mistake when buying this and setting this up. Bought a CBR750 cable modem/router with one RBS750 satellite. Realized that was not good enough for a large single story house and b...

Need to downgrade all RBS to FW that is on the CBK750s web page so they are on the V4 version:

The RBS750P which is really a RBS350 series, isn't compatible with the CBR750 and RBS750.

I recommend you find another RBS750 actual unit to use if you need more coverage.
What is the size of the home in sq feet?

Thank you for this info and for getting on this so quickly, I actually looked at that table earlier today and could not find the RBS750P... The house is 4000sqft (longish, too). Since I wanted to eliminate one device I felt that Xfinity only made the CBR750 an option.
Out of curiosity: even if the Orbi app did not complain about the new satellite and shows it as connected (still shows daisy-chained in) it is not really compatible? I bought the new satellite from BestBuy after searching for add-on satellites and missed the additional P đ
Am I understanding correctly that I need to find (a potentially used/refurbished) RBS750 to make this work? Any other suggestions? TIA!

Ya not really compatible.
Look for other RBS750s on Amazon, ebay or shopgoodwill.
In a pinch, NGs EAX series wifi extenders could work as a remote wifi extender. Will connect, just won't integrate like RBS will with Orbi app.
