ORBI Mesh RBK53S Router + 2 Satellites
I bought the Costco bundle of the ORBI RBK53S system that came with the router and 2 Satellites and I find that it doesn't give me full coverage of my home. I need to add more Satellites for covera...

For a definitive answer, I would post in the forum devoted to the AX products:

From what I recall, the answer is, "Orbi WiFi5 satellites can be connected to the AX system only over ethernet. The WiFi backhaul systems are totally different." So, if you have ethernet cables in the house running to locations where these satellites will be located, you can. But, if the system needs to use WiFi backhaul, then no.
