ADD CAN YOU ADD RBS50 SATELLITE TO RBK752
I am looking at the Orbi AX4200 (RBK752) and was wondering if required in the future could I add an additional RBS50 satellite? Also what would the performance implication be as the RBS50 is wifi5?

You can add a RBS50 to a RBK852 but only wired backhaul, it won't connect using wifi and it will only use a AC connection no AX. They were supposed to add the ability to wifi backhaul together but I don't think it's been implemented yet. I'd think the RBK752 would work the same way.
I am also getting the RBK753 today, and currently have an RBR50, RBS50, and W30 Wallunit.
I was hoping to setup my 3 AX4200 throuhgout the house and use one of the RBS50 or W30 either in the garage or another location.
Would i only be able to connect the RBS50, by physically connecting it to a live ethernet port in the house? I have an extra port that i can do this, but not necessairly in the most convenient location.
Thanks!
Yes, RBS50s can be ethernet connected only to the Orbi AX system. Wireless is still not compatible at this time.
