Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi Router (RBR50v2) and RBK13
Hi - I have an existing Orbi AC3000 system and picked up a new RBK13 system. I was hoping I could just use the satellites in the new system to extend the AC3000 system. Is this possible?

CrimpOn I was under the assumption that the 10 series didn't integrate as well. But maybe it was added in at a later point because I was corrected on a post about this too.
JMerryman Sadly, the 10 series satellites won't have the same performance as the triband satellites. Just something to keep in mind. And I'd be much less inclined to use them in a daisy chain setup because of lacking that dedicated backhaul.

Thanks for the feedback folks! I was able to get the RBK15 satellite setup (at close proximity) and then extended in the house. For the cheap price of 2 satellites it seems fair enough in relation to lower performance. Next to see if the router can be repurposed as satellite #3?
