ORBI PRO SXS50 and Netgear Nighthawk AX8 router

I have the ORBI Satellites SXS50 that I am trying to get setup with my Netgear Nighthawk Router currently. Eventually, I am moving it to a Netgear Nighthawk WiFi extender and Verizon MiFi device.

What is the best way to get this established and then how to I check configurations via the phone app or computer. Currently the ORBI phone app (Android) won't pick up the Obri.

You only have the SXS50? Not the SXR50? 

Reason I ask is the SXS50 are the satellites. They need a compatible orbi pro router to connect to.

SXS50 is only compatible with SXR50. For App management, you need to use "Insight App" for Orbi Pro series.

The Insight App says it doesnt support the SXS50.
