The RBS50Y is a outdoors satellite only. Not a router. You still need the RBR50 as the main base wifi router.
- robinsonktmAspirantOh Yes, I am already using RBR50 with two satellites and wanted to add one more to cover up my area. So later I came to know RBS50Y can go with it. And do I need connect with the main router as it seems on the main website Main router extend to RBS50Y and if I add another RBS50Y then it bridges from 1st RBS50Y. Like for eg Main router —->RBS50Y —-> 2nd RBS50Y as per video template shown on the NetGear page. Please clarify
Yes you'll need to connect the RBS50Y to the main RBR router. I believe if you enable Daisy Chain on the RBR then connecting two RBS50Y will be connected as you describe.
