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.
Your decision should be based on how much more coverage you need or want. The RBS50 satellite will give you better coverage and wireless backhaul speed over RBS40, RBS30, RBS20 and a wall plug satellite.
