Based on the table the answer is no, at BEST Buy they insisted it works but at lower speed.l ( speed limited to RBR50) . I guess they are wrong ?

The best buy people are wrong. The chart is what you should go with.&nbsp;
Are you needing more satellites or faster speeds?&nbsp;
Some of the older satellites can be picked up pretty cheap on flea bay or buying a refurbished kit (then you get a backup router).&nbsp;

Thks for the reply, I need more satellites to extend signal range. Unfortunately it’s difficult to find them in the market

So true.&nbsp; I just purchased a used RBS750 satellite from eBay and am&nbsp; annoyed that routers go for less than half what satellite are selling for.&nbsp; Guess if a person has no router, then buying something this out-of-date makes little sense.&nbsp; Whereas "just one more satellite" is a lot more attractive than what we used to call a fork lift upgrade (replace everything!)
