Satellite SSID different from Modem/Router... Help

Dear colleagues, I'm not experienced on this subject. 

Couple months ago I bought a Mesh system, RBK753S, but then I noticed that there was no Modem, so I bought a Modem CBR750 recently. 

When I installed the Modem/Router, it worked. However, I have two satellites, and one of them does not connect. The satellites SSID are different from the Modem/Router. 

I really don't know what to do to have the second Satellite connected. 

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

The correct thing to purchase was a modem that is compatible with your Internet Service Provider, not another Orbi router.

Are you using both the  RBR750 router and the CBR750 router?

Thank you for your information, I appreciated. 

I'm not using both routers, I'm using the CBR750 only, and I'm trying to connect to two satellites. One satellite connects with no problem, but the second one is not connecting at all.

Make sure Any RBS750 series FW is loaded with v4 FW as the CBR FW. If RBS are loaded with v7 FW, this is not compatible with v4 FW on the CBR and can make RBS not connect:
