RBS50 alternative
Hi, I am using RBR50 with RBS50 at my place. I am looking to extend the WiFi range by adding one more satellite to my existing Orbi system. However, RBS50 is already phased out and I can't purchas...
There are a number of satellites that are compatible with the RBR50 Orbi router:

Because the world has "moved on" from WiFi5 systems released in 2016, these models are only available used (or 'renewed') from sites such as Amazon, eBay, Goodwill Shopping, etc. They are not 'cheap'.
It is possible to pick up a complete WiFi6 system from Best Buy, Costco, Amazon, etc. for not much more than some places ask for a used RBS50.
