Orbi RBK852 compatibility with Google wifi
Hi All, I upgraded from google wifi to the orbi RBK852 router. I have the 3 google wifi routers at home. Is there a way i can connect them to this Orbi router as extensions? This way I can utiliz...
Use a PC or Laptop and connect to the RBRs web page. It's on the wireless settings page.
You'll need to use googles app to get them connected.
I connected physically hard wired the google wifi to the Oribi satellite and it had the same network name and it actually worked. So now its like a router connected to a router. Any thoughts on how to make it connect via wifi so that these google points just become satellites of the orginal Orbi. Many thanks in advance
Try the google app to see if it will help you get those connected. Something to ask Google about.
I checked with google and they are saying that I should not connect the google wifi to netgear. They want the google wifi to be only connected to the modem. I asked them can I turn off dhcp and connect the google wifi with netgear so that only netgear will assign the dynamic ips. They told that it should not be done. I still do not know of a way to connect via wifi.
Probably won't work then.
