Installation: Adding a new Satellite
1) Have RBR50 in AP mode with two satellites (all 3 are on Firmware 2.1.2.18). System seemed stable/reliable enough that I'm going to add a third satellite that I bought on Amazon. Clearly the third satellite won't be on 2.1.2.18. My understanding is that the router firmware can't be more current that the satellite. Do I have to factory reset all orbis that are on 2.1.2.18 before trying to add the new orbi?
2) I gave my RBR50 a static IP (192.168.1.53). My two satellites are non-statc but seem to always be 192.168.106 & 192.168.107. Is there a way to make the two satellites static (and the 3rd static once I get it installed)? I would like 192.168.54 & 192.168.55 & 192.168.56

Re: Installation: Adding a new Satellite
Just update the unit as soon as you connect it to the system and you should be fine.
