Can RBS350 be used as satellite to RBR50?

I have a RBR50 router, and can't find any new RBS50 satellites atm (sold out and no new on the way). Can the RBS350 connect at satellite? I understand that it wont work with full specs, but I dont need that.

    You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk). (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)

    Many questions apply to different types of device, you might get responses here, but things like compatibility of Orbi stuff is a bit specialist, so you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:

    Orbi - NETGEAR Communities

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

    As a satellite connected over WiFi - No.

    As a satellite connected over ethernet - Maybe.

     

    Generally,, the only satellites that are guaranteed to work with the oribinal RBR50 router are:

    RBS20, RBS40, RBS50, RBW30, RBS40V, and RBS50Y

    (RBS10, any "Pro" or "Ax" satellites are not.)
