RBS20 alternative
Since a year I use the RBK23 system, which has the router and two satellites. I now want to add another satellite (RBS20) to it, but can't find this anywhere (at a decent price). This also goes for RBS30 and RBS50.
Is it possible to use a netgear wired access point and add this to the mesh system? Or am I ending up with two different SSID's or manual switching between signals?

RBW30, RBS40v(oice) or EX7500/7700 or 8000 extenders.
All Wifi5 sattelites seem no longer available (at least new). If I add a wired access point (f.i. WAX214) on the third floor, does this also works seemless?
Or do I then have to switch between SSID's?
If you set the WAX214 on same SSID and PW and used different channels from what the Orbi uses, then devices should connect fine on there own.
