Adding a third satelite

I have an RBR50 router and two satellites. One is an RBD50 and the other is an RB50. I am getting connection issues with one side of the house and want to add a third Satelite. Should I buy an RB50 or...

RBK50 should have RBS 50s in the kit believe.

At any rate, RBS50 would be best suited....

Thank you for the reply. So what’s the difference between an RB50 and an RBS50 Satelite ?

    Not sure. Could be a regional marketing thing. I presume the internal HW is probably the same. Maybe one of the forum moderators can chime in.

    It should be RBS50 all over the world.

      Thank Darren, so I have an RBR50 with two Satelite RBS50. One of the Satelite is upstairs in my house. It has a weak connection with the router no matter where I place it and occasional would disconnect . Should I get another RBS50 to extend the range of the RbR50 to the upstairs Satelite ? Or should I buy a range extender and if so which range extender should I get?
