Hey guys - trying to connect an Engenius Enstation 5 AC to the RBR50 wirelessly as another AP for my Orbi network. They don't want to talk at all - i feel like i've exhausted all possible configurations. What am I missing? Is this not possible? Gateway is set to router gateway channel matches. I even tried to reserve the IP .100 on the Orbi - no dice. They don't what to be friends - Any help would be very much appreciated!

Re: Connection non-orbi AP to orbi network
Is this the product you are talking about?

If so, which "mode" are you using (starting on page 25 of the User Manual)? It appears (to me) that Engenius and Orbi are two entirely different products. Orbi is intended to create a single SSID at 2.4 and 5G that covers one "house", and Engenius is a company that provides networks to span large distances. My guess is Orbi is broadcasting an SSID and looking for clients asking to connect. That's not what Engenius appears to do (connect to an AP). So, pointing an Engenius at Orbi won't accomplish anything.
Others have more network experience than I do, so I could be totally wrong. You could always email the nice people in Costa Mesa and ask them?
