    Only big difference is the wireless backhaul on the 20 series is maxed at 866Mbps while the 50 series does 1733Mbps. 

    The 3Gb is a combination of 1733+866+866 on the 50 series.  

     

    If you already have the 50 series, Just keep it, use the RBR and 1 RBS. If you can, try the RBR alone and see how it works. 

    30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
