RBS50v2 compability

Hello, I am interested in ordering an Extra satellite for Orbi AC3000,

MPN RBR50v2 is my current Router My question is if anyone know

if the satellite must be RBS50v2 which I have 1 of today, and want to

expand with another. Those who I´ve asked and who sell loose satellites

only have RBS50 that they deliver, not RBS50v2, will it work

with an RBS50 for my current v2 router?

Best regards from // Goran

    Yes it'll work. 

    You can use any of the following:

    RBS20

    RBW30

    RBS40

    RBS40V

    RBS50

    RBS50Y

     

    Keep in mind the rbs50 series use the wider 1733mbps backhaul. The lower versions do work but they run at their 866mpbs backhaul link speed. 

     

    you can also use the EX7500, EX7700, EX8000. They don't fully integrate like orbi does but they do work
