Is there an upgrade path from Wifi 5 to 6 for an RBK50 owner?
I have an RBK50, so a RBR50 router and RBS50 satellite. I need a 3rd satellite for better coverage upstairs. First, are there any plans to upgrade the RBR50's to WIFI 6 via firmware upgrades...

I purchased the Orbi RBK53 Kit a few months ago From Costco $300 believing the Press Release was accurate. If the PR was in error and the RBK53 Kit is NOT forwards compatible with WiFi 6, I'm returning it to Costco. Thanks for pointing out the error. Netgear needs to fix this obvious PR error that will continue to misguide consumers into purchasing something that will not support WiFi 6.
