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...
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.
There is a similar table for the Orbi Pro models:

The answer is clearly, "no. won't work." Bummer.
Is there anyone who actually knows? Not just guessing?
Have the operating frequencies changed between models? Is there some mechanism that prevents one satellite from recognizing the frequency the others are on (what is it)?
