ORBI: Compatibility of different models
Hello
I have an Orbi RBR20 router with RBS20 satellite. Now I would like to buy another satellite. There are different models: RBS20, -40 and -50. Do I have to use an RBS20 or are the different models all compatible with each other? In other words, can I integrate an RBS40 or -50 into the network?
You can, just know that the connection rates differ between the 50 and 40 series. The 50 series having higher speed wifi connection rates and the 40 series having slower speeds. It always best to keep or match the connection rates if possible with the main base...
