Orbi RBK50 versus Orbi RBR20
I have an Orbi RBR20 with 2 plug in extenders and a outdoor Orbi. I have 55 wifi devices If I add the RBK50 can I still use the plug in extenders and the Orbi outdoor? Or should I upgrade to the Orbi...

If I add the RBK50 can I still use the plug in extenders and the Orbi outdoor? Or should I upgrade to the Orbi RBR20 at all? I just need better wifi signals. Thank you
An RBK50 consists of 1 RBR50 router and 1 RBS50 satellites, and is a great system for large coverage.
You will be able to use the RBR50 satellites, but not the router from the RBR20. So you will gain 1 powerful router and satellite. Yes you can use the 2 plugin extenders, if they are Orbi, and the Orbi outdoor satellite. While the RBR20 is a great router, it is not as powerful as the RBR50 router.
