Extender compatibility with a RBR50v2 router.

I have the RBR50v2 router and RBS50 satellite now. I'd like to add one more satellite, but the price point of the RBS50 isn't justified by my needs. Walmart has a clearance on the RBK50 that includes the router and 1 "extender". What is the "extender" and would it be compatible with my router - would I even want the extender? Walmart's sale price is around $200 less for both the RBK50 and whatever the extender is that comes in the box.

  • Hello,

    The Netgear Orbi RBK50 is a mesh Wi-Fi system with a router (RBR50v2) and one satellite (RBS50). If you want to expand your existing setup, adding another RBS50 satellite will work seamlessly. The satellite extends Wi-Fi coverage and improves signal strength throughout your space. The RBK50 package offers a cost-effective solution compared to purchasing the RBS50 satellite separately. With an additional satellite, you can eliminate dead zones and enjoy a more reliable Wi-Fi experience.
