It's recommended to use only RBS series with Orbi.
One non NG extender I got seem to work ok with Orbi. Though I only had it connected for a short period of time to just update it's FW. You can try to see of it will works off hand if you have one.
Possible that the Orbi system you have could be faulty. Orbi AC wifi is pretty good for coverage.
thanx for all
1. Brick walls as everywhere in Italy, but the point is that bricks are same as with the apple airports, more or less positions are well, so we had a clear 1:1 comparison. About faulty device, unfortunately discussion with support team was suspended (delayed) due to the virus situation, it is a option.
2. RBS so also RBS20 shall work? In this case the network will be: RBS50....RBR50...RBS50...RBS20 in daisy chain. Does that affect performances of the other devices on the network?
AH ok. Yes, brick. Not great materials, however if the Airport was working and the Orbi isn't, at some point after your country is open again, you need to check in to an RMA and try another system.
The RBS20 uses 866Mbps for it's wireless back haul rate. RB50s will use 1733Mbps. Other than this, the main wifi rates are the same for the primary radios, 866Mbps
I would wait to get another system to test before getting another RBS. You may not need it.
