Link Two Orbi Router for One Mesh

Question

I have two RBK50 systems. So, two routers and two satellites. Is there anyway to have them all together as one network? They are all connected via daisy chaining, but I am not getting one network. When using wifi calling I drop the call when I move between the two routers.

I would assume a simple software switch would allow the routers to be satellites.

Or, just use the satellite from your 2nd RBK50 with your 1st system so you have the base router plus two satellites.&nbsp; That's how the mesh system is normally extended so you should not drop a wifi call.&nbsp; Yes, you have a 2nd RBK50 base that's ignored but now you're not trying to do something unusual.

I need a third satellite, but didn't want to go buy another if I have this router available.

Orbi routers cannot be attached to another Orbi system and act as a satellite. No.&nbsp; Nein.&nbsp; Nyet.&nbsp; Non.&nbsp;Sad, but true.
