What is the maximum number of Netgear Orbi Satellites that can be supported by Netgear Orbi Router?
Hello Ernye1
It can support up to 3 satellites and 1 main router.

Hey guys. So it appears you can defintely use more than 3(people are doing it in this thread currently), however if NETGEAR is mentioning that 3 is the number, don't be upset if an issue occurs at some point since they clearly are saying 3 here:).
It doesn't hurt to hear people reporting success stories on the Orbi handling 4+ satellites and the fact that we haven't heard back from them. Sounds encouraging.
If you have a disposabal income it is certainly worth trying the Orbi with as many satellites as possible. I wouldn't see why you wouldn't. You can buy individual satellites for the Orbi as well.
I think i will make the 4th sat purchase soon. I really don't need it but i would like hardwire connections in my room. I haven't had any connection problems like as many people have reported. I check my sats online and physically everyday to make sure. All 3 sats work just fine. Just Updated to 1.9.1.12 today and everything looks the same as in no connection problems. Does anyone know where i can find the release notes from the new update. -Thanks-
