Which Orbi Plugin Extender should i buy?
Which plugin extender should I buy for the Orbi RBR50?
I would get a RBS50 if you can afford it. To maintain same level of connection back haul that the 50 series offers.
Is there a reason you need another RBS?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
I have the RBR50 router. Is it compatible with the RBW30 wall plug extender?
Yes, every Orbi satellite is compatible with every Orbi router in the same product line. i.e. the WiFi 5 Orbi, the WiFi 5 Orbi Pro, and the WiFi 6 Orbi are all separate product lines. RBR50 is in the "regular" WiFi 5 Orbi line.
