I purchase the router and satellite package - but there is a section of the house where the signal is not great and I could use the LAN ports.Where to get a 2nd RBS50 without paying almost the same as the paired set? Thanks

Thanks for the answers. I figured that any could be used but I wanted to have a 3rd mesh unit and have since aquired a used unit.I find it a bit of a Netgear ripoff that additional RBS50 satelittes are so expensive compared to the original Router Plus S package.However we all have a choice in the matter :)

The RBS50 is $225US on Amazon. "Way too much?" Of course. I do not understand why this is. eBay has all sorts of offers.
(Disclaimer: I have purchased things from eBay, but never anything this costly. And, these are almost always registered to an original owner.)

You can add any Orbi satellite that is within your budget. You don't have to have another RBS50.
