Is RBS50v2 compatible with RBS50
I have RBR50 with two RBS50 satellites. I want to extend the network with two more RBS50V2.
Is RBS50v2 compatible with RBS50? Will there be any issue if I add two RBS50v2?

No problem at all.
There is a "trick" to adding satellites after three. The "Add a Satellite" web page has places for only three.
When there are already three, power one satellite "off" and ignore the Orbi saying, "This satellite is disconnected. Do you want to Delete it?"
(The answer, of course, is "Duh - NO")
Add the next satellite, then power that existing one back on. Now there are four.
(To add the fifth, two existing satellites have to be powered off, etc.)
