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...

You cannot add satellites from different models. What you could try is to put the RBR50v2 into AP mode, plug it into the SXR router and then add the satellites to that to c reate a second Mesh network.
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.
