Orbi Mesh Router

I am using the Orbi RBR50 mesh router and need to add a satellite.  I do not seem to find any RBR50 satellite anymore but I can find RBS50. Do you know if they are compatible? Thanks.

    compatible with the rbr50 is: 

    rbs20

    rbw30

    rbs40

    rbs40v

    rbs50

    rbs50y

     

     

    Keep in mind, only the 50 series has the 1733mbps backhaul. The others use a 866mbps backhaul.

     

    Some have also used the triband extenders: EX7500/EX7700/EX8000

    they work but they don't fully integrate with the system. 

  • I don't know what you mean but, RBR meant RB ROUTER , and RBS means RB Satellite . You are actually looking for an RBS50 not RBR50 as that would be the router.
