Purchase RBW39
I want to purchase an additional RBW30 but I can't find it anywhere - not on Netgear website, not Amazon, not Best Buy, not Target, not anywhere. I previously purchased a system of one RBR20 and one RBW30 for about $120. Now all I see are refurbs RBW30's for more money than for the package I purchased. What gives? How can I buy just a single RBW30? Thanks.

It seems like netgear hasn't been as focused on older gear lately. It could be because they're having to put all their manufacturering into the newer gear and don't have spare capacity for older models. Unsure without actually hearing from them (which doesn't happen)
Luckily there are other comptible models.
compatible:
RBS20
RBW30
RBS40
RBS40V
RBS50
RBS50Y
the EX7500/EX7700/EX8000 all work with orbi but don't integrate the same.

Thanks. The title should have been RBW30 not 39. I want an RBW30 simply because it plugs in directly to a wall socket - no need for a unit, brick and power cord. Thanks.

Like you've found, its tough to find one anymore.
From looking at amazon, its cheaper to buy the full kit that includes an RBW30 than it is to just buy the RBW30.
Might be an option and then just sell the router.
