Can I use my Orbi router as an Orbi satellite?
RBR routers can't be used as satellites. Only as the main host router or in main AP mode connected behind another router.

Yes. the Blue topped router in the pick is the RBR, the White topped one is the RBS. That configuration works. You can add more satellites to that as well. Just can't use the RBR as a satellite. You can connect it up as a separate wifi AP, however they may post problems and it will make your wifi surroundings more noisy and can cause wifi connection problems if in the same home. It's best to keep to 1 RBR and use satellites were needed.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
