How to add Orbi RBR10 & RBS10 to existing RBR10 & 3 RBS10's
My existing network is one Orbi RBR10 and three RBS10's. I just acquired an additional RBR10 & RBS10. Obviously, I know I can easily just add the RBS10 as a fourth satellite.
Is there a way to also utilize the additional RBR10, possibly to implement an Ethernet backhaul?
How would I configure the additional RBR10?
I do have powerline Ethernet running throughout my home.

You could use the 2nd RBR in AP mode only with the 1st one. Though this 2nd RBR would need to have a different SSID name and use far apart channels. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
