RBK50 paired with Two RBW30
I see some mixed discussions about adding the RBW30 plug-in satellite devices to a RBR50 router. I do not see this combo in any of Netgear's Orbi pre-packged device combos which leads me to beleive t...
The RBW30 satellites are supposed to work with the RBR50 router. However, the backhaul of the RBR50 is 1.7 Gbps and the backhaul of the RBW30 is only 866 Mbps, so you would not be taking full advantage of the RBR50 if you use the RBW30 satellites.
I presume since the connection rates between RBS 50 and 30 satellites are different thus NG has match and paired the 50 router with the same 50 model Satellites with the same supporting connection rates. It would be wise to keep these pairings the same.
