RBK50 - Need an Extender
Hi All - I have an RBK 50 (Tri-band System with 3Gbps Speed) which came with the router and an extender. I'm a little paranoid about moving my computer into a new area, as I use it to work from home....

What actual model extender is it? (look on the label)
most models work with the 50 series. but only the 50 series have the full 1733mbps backhaul. The others are 866mbps. Which performs remarkably well though.
works with:
RBS20
RBW30
RBS40
RBS40V
RBS50
RBS50Y
the tribands work as well but don't fully integrate. that'd be the EX7500, EX7700, EX8000
The one i recommend a lot is the RBS40V. Reason why is it tends to be cheapest on amazon and you get the functions of a smart speaker.

Thanks - I will check on that receiver's model when I get home. I found the RBS40V for $100 on Amazon. Thanks for the advice.
