RBR40 and RBW30
Hi all,
I have 2 x RBR40 and 2x RBW30 Satellites. Currently they are being used as Acess points as we are unable to use them with our provider as the main router.
For some reason I currently have them setup as 2 different networks (upstairs and downstairs)- ideally will get them on to the same one...
anyway. a cable upstairs got fried and as a result most things that were plugged in at that time are now fried. (including 1x RBR40 router and 1 x RBW30 plug satellite)
My question is.. which Orbis can I get as a replacement that will work with the other two and I can make one nice network throughout the house?
RBR40 doesn't seem to exist anymore.
Thanks alot for any help!

the RBR's won't integrate. You can't make the routers into satellites.
You can put the 2x RBW30's on one of the RBR's.

Hi thanks very much for your response.
I'm not sure its what I meant though.
1RBR 40 is broken and 1x RBW30 is broken
I have 1RBR40 and 1RBW30 remaining but these do not provide coverage for the whole house.
which models can I buy to add to the network?
Hopefully that is clearer. the house is made of concrete......
compatible models with the RBR40 are:
RBS20
RBW30
RBS40
RBS40V
RBS50
RBS50Y
Keep in mind the 50 series have the wider backhaul the 40 series router doesn't support. They do work, they just operate at the narrower backhaul.
You can also use the EX7500/EX7700/EX8000. they don't integrate with the orbi but do work.
