Rbr40 compatibility with Src60 ceiling mount pro

Anyone confirm if my residential orbi rbr40 will connect and work with the ceiling mounted orbi pro satellite... Src60. Need something easy to mount and slim profile for high traffic area, but with wider coverage than the receptacle mounted satellite. 

other options if this willl not work would be gratefully received

    Sorry, no.  The Orbi "residential" and "pro" products are not interchangable.  Have no idea what led Netgear to create this mess, but they did.

    Something to post about over in the Orbi Pro forum. They may know if it's compatible or not.

      The Product Data Sheet for the ceiling unit is pretty clear (on page 2),

       

      What do I need for Orbi Satellite to work?

      • Orbi Pro Router (SRR60) or Orbi Pro Router and Satellite (SRK60) – SOLD SEPERATELY

      • High-speed Internet connection

      • Connect to existing modem or gateway
