How many satellites can an Orbi RBR50 support?
Hi, can you share how many satellites can I have connected to my Orbi RBR50? I currently have 3 and would like to add another satellite. Also would I be purchasing an RBS50 to add to the network...

Thank you! I noticed that Netgear sells a satelitte for $250 but I see many on Ebay. Any disadvantages to purchasing a used satellite?

Like anything on eBay, the issue of defective products and/or returns is more compicated than with a major retailer with a well-established return policy. Used products cost less, but come with no warranty from Netgear. That being said, after my Orbi was out of warranty I got a second RBR50 router for under $100 to use for experiments and as a spare. Works great.
