Use RBR50 as a satelite

Hi,

I do have a RBK50 (with RBR50 and RBS50) and want to extend with a RBS50.
But can't purchase new RBS50. 
So I a thinking of buying Wifi 6 router (RBK852) and use the RBR50 as a satelite of the RBR850)
Is that supported, will it work?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Not as a satellite. you can hardwire it in and set it up as its own access point

    With the RBR50 system, there's several satellites you can use. 

    RBS20

    RBW30

    RBS40

    RBS40V

    RBS50

    RBS50Y

      Thanks for your quick reply.

      But is it also possible to use the RBR50 as a satelite of a new Netgear Orbi router?
