Can RBR50 be used as a satellite?
I have a newly installed RBK50 (RBR50 + RBS50). Can I buy another RBK50 (~$260. I got it on sale at Amazon) and use the RBR and RBS from that as satellites for my current setup? It is ridiculus ...
Looks like the answer is "No".
I'd probably still buy the RBK50 and maybe use the extra Router as a access point or standalone in some other smaller house like a friend or parent's house.
The single satellites are way overpriced, IMO.
the official answer is no.
but if you google "convert rbr50 to rbs50" you might find a different unofficial response.
You won't find it on the official forums.
Keep in mind if you take that route, it can easily brick your device.
