    IF actual RBS units can't be found, you can try a EX7500/7700 or 8000 extenders work with Orbi systems.

Compatible satellites include:

RBS50, RBS40, RBW30, RBS20, RBS50Y,RBS40V

(The RBS10 is not compatible. Nor are "Pro" or "AX" models.)

 

Yes, satellites for the 2016 Orbi are becomming more and more difficule to find.

While RBS40, RBW30, RBS20 are compatible, the peak speeds supported by these are different as are the # of antennae and coverage areas.

 

I have been finding good (1 day) deals on Woot for these.
