Wondering if here is a v1 RBS vs v2 RBS issue here.
Can you remove the v2 RBS and just add the v1 RBS with the RBR and place in a remote location?
Is Daisy Chain disabled on the RBR? Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings
If the v1 RBS works and all seems well. I would get in contact with NG support and let them know what happens with you go to add the v2 RBS. If the v1 RBS doesn't work, then possible the v1 RBS is faulty.
Let us know.

RBR50 configured just fine and came up perfect.
Next, I manually added the RBS50 v1.
Although it took a while to completely register, it eventually got an IP address and a "good" backhaul status.
Third, I attempted to add the RBS50 v2. That is where various things went strange.
After about 10 tries at getting the satellite to sync, it finally got registered as a satellite, but never received an IP address or backhaul status.
During this 2nd satellite setup time, the 1st satellite appeared to be going through a series of reboots.
So, now the 2nd satellite appears to be attached to the 1st satellite.
The 1st satellite's "Connected Orbi" shows the 2nd satellite's MAC ID/name and the 1st satellite's "backhaul" keeps bouncing between "good" and "config sync" .
It this normal?
One final observation:
After I setup the 1st satellite, I moved it to another room. During the 10 mins it was down, the router never showed it offline.
This maybe a problem that NG support needs to look into with.

I had no idea that the router defaulted the daisy chaining "enabled". After I turned it off, everything (satellites and all endpoint devices) registered perfectly!
Thank you so much for that helpful hint !!!
I still have about 5 of 22 devices to reset their WIFI settings now ... ;)

Glad that worked. Yes DC is enabled by default.
Be sure to do a backup configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
