Can I use 2 RBS satalites from a second RBK853 three pack as I have a user for the stand alone RBR850 but I want the satalites for a large home.  How do I go about resetting the passwords etc for the 2 never used satalites from the second RBK853 set?

Thank you, Adnim

        Can you help me connect these previous generation RBS50's to a new RBR850 Router.  They need to be wirelessly connected as I have no cable to the points I need to cover.   Im having no luck.  

        Thanks in advance.
