Can the old ORBI Triband satellites be used together with the new ORBI 6 system?

Can the old ORBI Triband satellites(RBS50) be used together with the new ORBI wifi 6 system(Orbi RBK853)?

 

Our house is 5000+ sqft, so we need a big system. We already have 4 of the old RBS50 satellites, but would like the new faster system.

 

Thank you

 

Cheers

    Not at this time. AC satellites are not compatible with AX systems. 

  • Only way to use Orbi AC RBS is ethernet connect them to the Orbi 6 system. 

     

    Be sure to post about any Orbi AX questions or information over in the Orbi AX forum:

    Good Luck.
