it is compatible but uses the slower 866mbps backhaul versus the 50 series has a 1733mbps backhaul. Makes a little difference for peak wired speeds or if there's multiple wireless devices simultaneously using it. I've used both and never had an issue with the RBS40V in comparisons to my 50 series devices. You can always swap the rbs40v for the rbs50 satellite if the office is needing the faster backhaul.

Yeah I tried to get that room hard wired but they wouldn’t do it. He was afraid of hitting an electrical line. I will check out the RBS40V. I wasn’t sure if that would be compatible with the RBR50.
Thanks again!
