Rbs20

Can I add ORBI6 to my orbi rbs20 satellites. Are they compatible? I would like to add more satellites and prefer to upgrade to ORBI 6 satellites.

    "ORBI6" is not an actual product number.  The router is the key component.  If the base Orbi is the original WiFi5 Orbi, then only the original Orbi satellites will connect to it. (RBS50, RBS40, RBS20, RBW30, RBS50UY - but not RBS10).  The WiFi5 and WiFi6 product lines are entirely separate.
