ORBS 50 and ORB103 Satellite
Can I use satellites that come with ORB103 to extend my ORB 50 Router?

ORB103?
Is this a NG product? Or other Mfr?
Both are ORBI products:
Orbi R50 and the satellites are from ORB103
If they all came in the same box, then they were probably set at the factory to work together. Otherwise, satellites from one system can be moved to another Orbi router by "resyncing" them. (check the internet for videos on how to do this.) The router from a one system cannot be used as a satellite on another router. It can be "attached as an access point", but cannot be used to expand the original "seamless" Orbi.

When they are menufactured, Orbi's are given a WiFi name that begins with "ORBI". For the specific model number, please look on the product label, usually on the back or bottom of the unit. (VERY small letters.)
As far as I know, every Orbi satellite will function with the Orbi RBR50 router.
