Hi everyone,

You can add more sats...but the orbi router is a router never a sat

As Retired_Member mentioned, but -if you have to- you can also use the RBR50 as an AP if you connect it wired t the existing RBR50 and set it to AP mode and use different radio channels than the existing system.
Of course, the best solution is to have only one router and expand with satellites.
