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.

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?
