Orbi RBS760 satellites not sharing network password from RBR750 / RBS750
I had an Orbi #RBR750 Router and 1 #RBS750 satellite set up with no problems with the same SSID and password combo being shared across the 2 units in the network
I have since added a further 2 x #RBS760 satellites to my set-up.
They have connected to the network with no problem and are showing in the network map, however, they are not sharing the SSID and Password the original router and satellite use.
You have to log on to each #RBS750 satellite individually with the local name and password detailed on each unit, and you get great wifi once logged in locally.
I have made sure I have the latest software updates and have tried disconnecting, factory resetting, and reconnecting as suggested in other posts but I have had no luck.
Are there any advanced settings I need to administer to make the 760 Satellites share SSID and PW with the 750 Router and satellite?

People have reported satellites having different behavior when wired to the router rather than using the WiFi backhaul.
Would it be a big chore to temporarily locate one of the 760 satellites in the same room as the router, connect them with an Ethernet cable, and observe what the satellite WiFi does?
(I know using wired backhaul is simply not an option for many users [including myself]. The question is more intellectual curiosity than practicality.)

Yes, I appear to have accidentally ordered the 760 rather than the 750 as I had checked the compatibility when researching and I must have clicked the wrong model on Amazon options when actually ordering.
It is interesting that the 760's do work and give great in wifi from the network but they just have their own unique SSID's and PW's. This is kind of fine in the short term but I do want to set up wireless speakers across the house on one network which this wont allow me to do.
Do you think this will be resolved in a firmware update?
