I'm also interested and confused about the differences.  The WikiDevi pages linked do not contain any data.  On the spec page, it appears the RBR20 has multiple backhauls, or is that just a repeat of the main antennas?

Check specs here:

All Home Orbi systems support wired back haul for ethernet connected satellites.

Recommend using non managed switches with Orbi systems if needed.
