All of the original Orbi satellites will work with an RBR50V2

RBS50
RBS40
RBS20
RBW30

Satellites from other product lines will not (Pro, AX, "10" series)

Also EX 7500, 7700 and 8000 extenders are supporting as well.&nbsp;

Do these plain repeaters really integrate seamlessly into the orbi mesh (I don't think so)?&nbsp;Obviously you can use them the extend your wireless network (orbi or not), but I wouldn't classify them as mesh satellites (which means you don't get central configuration, client steering and neither get access to orbi's wireless backhaul, repeating the fronthaul instead). These can still make sense in an (otherwise-) orbi environment, but they're not on par with orbi satellites.

I didn't refer to the EX as MESH sattellites. They are ONLY extenders so no they don't entegrate like actual RBS. They CAN work in cases were additional wifi is needed in a pinch and when RBS supplies are out of stock or can't be found. They don't need to integrate as well. Just provide additional wifi coverage for those situations. They work fine with Orbi systems.&nbsp;
