Orbi Satellites - availability
I guess this is just a rant...but hoping for some insight from this forum.
I have an Orbi RBK50 system (a router and 1 satellite) in my house and it is awesome. Didnt realize what we were missing until I replaced an aging Apple system. We have a converted detached garage which I was hoping would get covered by the RBK50, but alas it does not. I have run an ethernet cable to the garage and was planning on buying a new satellite to plug into it. Given the layout of my house, I dont have easy options of relocating the existing router/satellite.
Here is my issue: Is it just me or is it hard to source a (somewhat) affordable ethercable-ready orbi satellite? Seems like the prices are relatively high...even approaching the cost of a router+satellite set.

Thats marketing for you. Try places like amazon for ebay for 2nd hand or used units if you can find one.
Yes you can ethernet connect a RBS out to the garage:
