Orbi satelite (RB23) compatibility with new router

We have the RBK23 Mesh system, which includes the Router and two satellites.  I've looked for an extra satellite to extend to our garage, but it seems to be out of production ( RBS20), or when available, costs more than a replacement RB50 series router with 1 satellite-  so I'm looking to replace the 20 series router with an RB50 router; will the 2 RB20 satellites work with the RB50 router and satellite for a single wifi network?  I've seen a few comments about new satellites working with old routers, but not the other way around... Thanks

    Yes, the RBS20 satellites will integrate with the RBR50 router.

    Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!!!

     

    I understand that you are looking for compatible devices to work with your RBK23 mesh system. 

     

    This system uses an RBR20 which is compatible with the following satellites:

    • RBS20
    • RBW30
    • RBS40
    • RBS40V
    • RBS50
    • RBS50Y

    Best,
