Can I use Orbi RB20 satellites with a new RBK50 router?
Hi, I’ve seen a few posts on here with people asking whether they can use their 2B20 router as a satellite for an 2BK50 router, but my question is a little different. I had been using an ORBI RB20 mes...
Yes, the RBK20 satellites work with the RBR50 router. The only "issue" is that they do not support the blazing AC3000 speed that the RBS50 satellites do. I do not know if the this will affect the performance of the RBS50 satellites. 802.11 for 2.4G has several versions, b, g, and n. If even a single device on the network supports only "b", that forces the entire WiFi to operate at b. Surely the 5G standards are more advanced?
These RBK20 satellites will operate as well as they did before. Go for it.
Also, I apologize if this question has been asked before—I tried my best to look for a similar thread!
