Using RBR50 Router or Satellite SRK80
I know the two systems are incompatible wirelessly, but can I use the RBR50 Router or one or more of the Satellites with the SRK80 (Orbi-Pro 6) system as an Access Point if I wire it from the router? The SRK50 system (which I loved) is not even three years old. Seems such a waste to not be able to use it in some fashion with the new business-oriented SRK80. Thanks..

All you can do is to configure the RBx50 in wireless access point mode.

Thanks for the reply. Would that be just the RBR50 router and not the RBS satellites that will work as an AP., and that the connection between the RBR50 router and the SX80 router is wired? Again, thanks.

The RBR/RBS system can work as access point with just the "router" acting as the basestation for the wireless satellites.
