ORBI, How many satellites does my router support?

I have a Router (RBR50) and two satellites (RBS50). I'm planning to add another satellite. Will the Router support it?

Seen other posters with up to 3 satellites. Depends on the size of your home as well. Larger size home may need additional. I have a 5000sq ft home, only 1 satellite needed. 40feet distance in between router and satellite.

    I believe the OP is asking whether or not the Orbi router is capable of handling an additional SAT.  Has nothing to do with size of coverage.
