As title says, RBK50 router with 2 RBW30 Satellites.

I have an RBR50 router sitting around. I would like to add it to the same network to extend range.

Can I do it?I want same network name and password for seamless operation througout the house.

How to configure second router?

Thanks for the idea.My RBW30 Satellites don't have Ethernet Ports but I believe the satellite that comes with the RBK50 does have them so this might be possible.

Ya RBWs don't have ethernet ports. They are wall plugin RBWs only.&nbsp;

Good luck.&nbsp;
