Adding Non-AX6000 Satellite to Orbi WiFi 6 AX6000 System (RBK852)
I currently have the Orbi WiFi 6 System AX6000 (RBK852) with one router and one satellite. I'd like to add another sateliite, but they are currently unavailable (RBS850). Is it possible to buy a sate...

I have an RBR850 with one RBS850.
I also have two RBS50s attached... however, the limitation is that they must be hard wired since the backhauls for them are not yet compatible.
Netgear purportedly says they will fix that over time so you can use wireless backhaul, but I wouldnt hold your breath.
If you can hard wire them, you will find they work great -- just dont provide any AX capability at those satellites.
