Which satellite models are compatible with RBR50

I have RBK50 system (RBR50 router and RBS50 satellite).

I am thinking of getting another satellite(s) to extend/improve the coverage.

Question is which all satellite models are compatible with RBR50 ?

Specifically can I get the small RBK12 and use both those devices as satellites to my main RBR 50 ?

    No, any of the options I listed will work. I was just saying the rbs50 and rbs50y both have the 4x4 1733mbps backhaul. The rbs20, rbw30, rbs40, rbs40v all use the 866mbps backhaul. They still work fine and in many cases with a very similar performance.

  • I wouldn't use the rbs10's. 

    I'd recommend these:

    rbs20

    rbw30

    rbs40

    rbs40v

    rbs50

    rbs50y

     

    reason why is they're all triband. The rbs10's are dual band. 

    something else to keep in mind is the rbs50 and rbs50y are the only 2 that keep the full 1733mbps backhaul of the rbk50 series you're on. the others use 866mbps.

        Thanks. Just wanted to update that I went with RBS20, with wired backhaul.
