RBR750 new satellite won't connect
I bought a new add-on satellite for my Orbi system. I bought model RBS50 on Amazon. Is this compatible with the RBR750? I thought I was buying a different model initially.
I have the router and satellite right next to each other but they won't sync.
Thanks.

No, the RBS50 is not compatible with the RBR75. The 5G radio chipsets are different. The RBS50 expects to use 5G 802.11ac to communicate with the router, and the RBR750 expects to use 802.11ax, which offers higher bandwidth and additional features.
Bummer.
