RBS50 - where to purchase a 2nd unit

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...

    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 :)

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