If I was to buy another kit RBK50 I would keep the new kit router RBR50 as a spare backup just in case or sell it and then use the satellite from that new kit to extend my coverage at home will that work perfectly fine?

The new satellite will not be tied inexorably to the new router, but there may be other Orbi satellite options than the RBS50.

One question that comes up here is about using the router as a satellite. The answer is no.

While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

Support | NETGEAR

Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware. Look at the label on the device for the model number.

You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
