Satellite for Netgear Orbi RBK53

Hey,

I bought a Netgear Orbi RBK53 mesh 1+2 system in 2020, and i’d like to get another satellite to add it to the system.

Can someone tell me the cheapest and compatible orbi satellite that i can buy and add to my mesh?

Thanks,
Razvan

    Satellites that are compatible with this package include:

    RBS50, RBS40, RBS20, RBW30, RBS50Y, and RBS40V (voice).

     

    Even though 2020 is "just yesterday", it has become almost impossible to find any of these new.  They can be found on eBay (and maybe Craig's List). That is where I purchased a spare router in case mine ever fails.

     

    The RBS50 is the most compatible and highest performing choice.
