Rbr50 satellite to satellite

Just bought the RBR50 router and satellite but our cabin at the end of the garden is too far away. So I have bought a second satellite, please advise how to connect the second satellite to the first satellite to extend the range.

 

Warm Regards

Re: Rbr50 satellite to satellite

Should be able to enable Daisy Chain on the router and this should set up the satellites to piggy back of one another...

Re: Rbr50 satellite to satellite

Where is the Daisy Chain setting?

 

I can't find it on my CBR40

Hi   All,

This worked for me:

http://orbilogin.net on   my PC, then Advanced tab, Advanced Set Up, Wireless Setup then click Enable Daisy Chain  Topology

Connect the first satellite to the Router

Put the second satellite in line with both (a straight line between all three , this stops the second satellite to connect to the router) then turn the second one on, click the first satellite sync button and then the second satellite sync button.

Open the app on   my phone and see the  network  map to ensure they are in line.

Hope this helps you  all.

There is no "Daisy Chain" option on my CBR40. It has the latest firmware.

 

Here is a screenshot of the Advanced Wireless Setup screen:

You need to post this over on the CBK40 Orbi with Cable modem. There are some differences between the CBK40 and the non cable Orbi systems. RBKs.
