Need some advice on using some legacy Orbi systems - RBR40, RBS20, RBR50, and RBS50
I am looking for some advice on how best to proceed (sorry for the long description). I manage the IT at our church (as a volunteer). We have two buildings that are separated by 50-75 feet, but the...
The most obvious solution is to replace the RBR20 with the RBR50 and place the RBS50 where it will do the most good in Building B. The existing RBS20 satellites are entirely compatible with the RBR50 and can be used to expand coverage in Building B.
Hello JamesME ,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
The network setup described in your post is comprised of all Orbi Mesh devices with the exception of your N600 and your N6220. The best option for the most compatible network is to only use the Orbi Mesh system. Replace the N600 with the RBR50. After establishing optimal network connectivity in the largest building use the underground connection to connect the additional equipment through wired backhaul to the additional building. Please be advised that this would require all the satellites to be configured in a daisy chain network topology. We recommend that only two satellites be installed in a daisy chain topology for each network. The network would also be easier to manage from an IT perspective since all layer 3 tasks will be configured through the RBR50.
Best,
