Orbi RBK40 & RBS50Y Compatibility
I have an Apple Airport Time Capsule that provide good coverage for most of my house, there are a few dead zones that I have wired ethernet (1GbE) close to and i also have low signal and throughput in my backyard. I really have two objectives;
- I would like to run an Orbi in Access Point Mode to provide coverage to the dead spots -AND-
- I would like to improve the wireless signal in my backyard.
I wanted to know if i could:
- Use the RBK40 - AC2200 to provide an access point for my existing apple time capsule network using ethernet backhaul -AND-
- If needed use the RBS50Y - Outdoor Satellite with the RBK40 routher
thank you,

You'll need to check with Apple to see if the Time capsule can be configured using LAN cableing. If it has a RJ45 LAN port, then I presume so.
The RBS50Y will connect to the RBR40 router for out door wifi support.
thank you for the information.
the apple time capsule does in fact have 1GbE RJ45 ethernet ports.
I would run the Orbi wifi only and not use the Apple wifi. This could cause additional interferences...
