Do I need to buy an additional RBS 50 or will another Orbi product -- such as at Orbi AC 2200 Wall Plug satellite -- work as well? I want to make sure I buy something compatible with the router.
Every satellite in the "original Orbi" line is compatible with the RBR50 router except the RBS10 (the least expensive and most available)
RBS50, RBS40, RBS20, RBW30, RBS50Y (outdoor)
Other Orbi product lines are not compatible: Orbi "Pro". Orbi AX.
