Additional satellite required for RBR50v2 mesh WiFi system

I am urgently trying to buy an additional satellite for my Orbi RBR50v2 mesh WiFi (have the router plus one satellite).   Have looked on Amazon and they only appear to sell the dual pack i have already bought.  Have trawled through other websites and can't find a single satellite.  Can anyone shed any light on this please as am getting very frustrated. Many thanks

    Luckily there's quite a few compatible satellites for that version. 

    compatible:

    RBS20

    RBW30

    RBS40

    RBS40V

    RBS50

    RBS50Y

     

    The only thing to keep in mind is only the 50 series have the 1733mbps backhaul. The other ones use a 866mpbs backhaul. 

    I've used both and haven't noticed a difference unless I'm doing peak speed testing.
