Can I combine RBK20W and RBK13
RBK20W is a Tri-band AC2200 kit which includes router plus one satellite
RBK13 is a dual-band AC2200 kit which includes router plus 2 satellites
If I can, what’s the best way to do this? I have two different rooms from where I can get wired backhaul to my 1G ATT modem. These Wired jacks are on floor 3 of the house. Living rooms and master bedroom is on floor 2. Basement is on floor 1 and I spend quite a bit of time there. Hope that gives a general idea. Each floor is about 1600 sq ft of space.

the triband use the dedicated backhaul betwen router/satellites versus the dual band doesn't.
Not sure why they can't make them work but they don't.
All the tribands (AC version) are compatible with each other.

No. the dual band systems aren't compatible with the triband systems.
Do you already have both systems? Or were you looking at buying another system to try to supplement?
- I have both sitting here unopened. I can return one.
But out of curiosity, why wouldn’t a dual band work as a satellite to a tri band system?the triband use the dedicated backhaul betwen router/satellites versus the dual band doesn't.
