Orbi RBK 53 & new CBR40
I own the Orbi RBK 53 package distributed by Costco. This is the combination of an Orbi router + 2 satellites. My question is about the yet to be released new CBR40 combo of a modem & Orbi router. My...
RBKs are kits, router and 1 to 3 satelllites. Orbi routers only run in router mode or AP mode. They are not designed to be extenders like satellites. RBS models are just that, satellites.

Any chance of Netgear releasing update to convert RBK into RBS ?
What i meant is if i replace my RBK with the new CBR40 can i then flash the old RBK and make it a sattelite to extend network ? Would that be an option ? Thank you
The RBR50 in that kit can't be run like a satellite. So no. You can use the RBS satellites from that kit with the CBK kit.
