Using rbs50 from another package
A friend has offered to give me his rbk50 with 2 satellites. I already have an rbk50 with 1 satellite. Is there any reason I can't use the satellites from the other package with my existing setup? ...
I am in the same situation, so would like to know how this went for you ... were you able to get the satellite from another bundled pair working perfectly for you?

Thank you ekhalil. I saw that the satellite was pre-configured to the router in the a bundle that i purchased, hence the concern on getting a satellite that has been previously configured to a different router. Does the action of syncing with a different router unit overwrite the pre-configuration on the satellite?

Yes walder , when you run the Sync procedure (pressing the Sync button on Router and a new Satellite) the new Satellite will be paired to the Router and it will forget it's previous configuration.
