Buying a used satellite for my RBR50?
There are quite a few Orbi kits for sale on the used market but I have read that not all models have a dedicated backhaul like the RBS50. Is there a list of models that I could look up before buyin...

The following models will work and have a backhaul.
RBS20
RBW30
RBS40
RBS40V
RBS50
RBS50Y
Keep in mind, only the 50 series devices having the wider 1733mbps backhaul. The others use the 866mbps backhaul.

plemans I just saw a used RBR50v2 kit. Would that force me to use the v2 as my router and connect my v1 satellite to it or can I just use the RBSv2 satellite with my current v1 RBR50?

They're interchangable. You can go eitherway. I'd just add the satellite to your current setup.

Yes, that's the easiest. :smileyhappy: Thanks again for your advice.
