Hi, 

 

I have an RBS20 Router and Satellite installed (currently in AP mode) and I want a 3rd and 4th unit to extend the coverage. There's currently a good deal on an RBK10 Router and Satellite, and I wanted to know if I could mix these systems together?

 

I would install the RBK10 router in AP mode where the existing RBS20 Satellite is, and then run both satellite units in satellite mode. IS this possible to run both systems (4 units) with the same SSID/network?
