Are Orbi RBR50v2 router/satellites compatible with SXK30B3 router/satellites?
Netgear seems to have gone out of its way to create mass confusion between product monikers. I have an installed Orbi SXK30B3 system (router with 3 satellites), and I want to add additional satellites from an inherited Orbi RBR50v2 set. Can this be done? If so, how? If I just plug in the satellites will they detect the current wireless network and join it?

I knew someone would reply with that chart. Have you actually looked at it, and found the products I mentioned I have? If you would do so, you'd see the SK*** products are not included on it, so that page is useless to answer my question. Not to mention it doesn't explain how to install them in the existing network.
Can probably presume that they are not compatible. SX series is a AX feature that the 50 series doesn't have nor support. Also the SX series is a pro business system were the 50 series is home class.

You will not create a single Mesh network, but you could make the two networks spread the wifi. Just be careful about positioning and the channels you use.
