Connecting an RBR50 & RBS50 ac3000 network to a ac2200 RBR40 and RBS40 network
I have paired the RBR50 with the RBS50 satellite and it works great, however I have an extension that does not carry the signal. I'm wondering whether I can make use of a spare RBR40 router and RBS40....
Thanks I assume you mean connect both routers rbr40&50 by ethernet and pair the RBR40 satellite with the RBS40 satellite. You can't connect satellites they only pair with the router

I am saying to try:
RBR50 - wifi - RBS50 - cable - RBS40
No clue if it will work - but I would try it if I had that kind of run and hardware on hand.
You will need to pair the RBS40 to the RBR50 via wifi first; however, once you go ethernet/cable the connection between the two satellites will be at the speed of the switches in the satellites no? The RBS50 is gig. I am assuming the RBS40 is gig?
- AC2200 is incompatible with AC3000 so an RBS40 can only be paired to the RBR40. But would RBR50>RBS50>RBR40 via ethernet>RBS40 work?
