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?
