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:
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 😞
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.
Thank you so much, getting on that right now!
Hi again,
so I did follow your advice and added 2 RBS750 satellites. Still no devices connecting to the 2 new ones (I have set them up and let them sit since Saturday).
I have just turned off the initial satellite from the original set with the router and rebooted the router. I have carried my cell phone to the most Western corner of the house where I have put satellite #3 (which shows as connected via daisy chain to sat #2 with GHz with a good backhaul status on the web app). The router is in the most Eastern corner of the house. The phone cannot find the network 😞 It's been there for a good 5-10 mins, no dice. What might be going on? Should I open a new thread? TIA!
