Orbi RBK50
Hi Netgear community, May I have a moment of your time please, I’m looking at the add ons for RBK50, I’ve noticed the price point differences between the addon and a additional system, my question is...
- To have a “pure” mesh system you can only have one Orbi Router and then a number of Satellites.
You can use the Satellite from the second RBK50 package as a second Satellite added to the first RBK50 package.
An RBR50 Router can’t be used as Satellite, but you can connect it to your network *wired* in AP mode to provide extra coverage but -although that you can use the same SSID in this AP- will not be part of the mesh network.
Please see the following pages for the available ready Orbi packages:
