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?

yes
I think i've seen someone post that they connected 4 satellites. Not sure if using 3 indoor and 2 out door. Might be a stretch.
I have four satellites plus the router and they all work fine.

Just curious, how do you have yours set up? Any Daisy Chain configurations? Or just Star?

I just have them in a star config. Originally I was unaware of the 3 satellite max. I purchased a fourth satellite and simply plugged it in. It immediately configured itself and has been working well for a couple of weeks. Whether there will be future problems I don't know but for now it seems to be working well.

Awesome. Was curious. Glad it's working. Ya, I presume 4 should be the limit. There is only so much bandwidth that wireless can do.
Enjoy. :smileywink:
