Adding satellites to Orbi Wireless Router AC3000
I have this:
Netgear Orbi Wireless Router AC3000 Tri-Band Wi-Fi System #RBK50-100NAS
It has one router and one satellite.
Can I add two more satellites to this or only one?
If I can add two what is the model number of the two satellite system I need?
If I can add only one, what is the model number of the one satellite system I need?
Once I have the satellites, how do I add them to my existing system?
Thanks!

Some historical posts from users have reported having up to 6 RBS50s connected to 1 RBR50. Ohter RBS like RBS20s and RBW30s work as well.
30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
RBS are added in the same manor as all RBS, press the sync button on the RBR first then on the RBS and let them sync and get connected.
