Yes it will work perfectly with the RBR40 and have the same power as the RBS40.

In looking for suitable options for the satelites I am finding any ones recommended to me are highly constrainted - not available new. The current system has worked well for 2 years but I have a gap in coverage where I need another sattelite. The recommended sattelites were RBS50, RBS40, RBS20, RBW30, RBS50Y. is it just time to look for a new system and has Netgear decided to not make certain sattelites like the RBS20 anymore. Sorry I may be out of touch here since I have not been close to what Netgear has been doing in advancing their technologies.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
If you are satisfied with your RBR40, and it has been performing well, IMHO there would be no need to look for a new system.
I'm not sure if this was suggested by me, but a great addition to what you have would be an Orbi Voice RBS40V Smart Speaker. I have one, and the coverage is as good as any RBS40 satellite, but with added features. You can opt not to use these features as well. I mention it because it is on sale currently, for $99.00 at Amazon and other vendors.
Not to question you - will it work with the RBR40? Sounds like it will and that would be fantastic news - I like my RBR40 and really do not want to get rid of it if I don't have to. Please let me know and thanks for your reply.
