RBS50 availability

Hi All,

 

Have netgear disconituned the RBS50? One of my satellites has gone bust and was looking for a replacement but can't seem to fine any (amazon, PCworld etc).

 

If I get a newer router (Orbi Wifi 6 for example), would my existing RBS50 (that currently work) work with the new router or would I need to replace the whole system (router and 3 satellites?

 

Cheers

Nick

    I'm showing it available on amazon. But its actually cheaper to buy a full rbK50 system renewed and just use the satellite and resell the router. 

    Or you can use any of the following satellites: 

    RBS20

    RBW30

    RBS40

    RBS40V

    RBS50

    RBS50Y

     

    the EX7500, EX7700, EX8000 also work but don't fully integrate with the system.

        UK probably has different power requirements. Not sure if I'd ship one from the US (as well as the US tends to have their regions locked in them).
