Additional satellites
Hi I want to purchase the new Orbi AX unit but I need help. Where can I purchase more Satellites from? If I possibly purchase 2 units can I use the additional router as a satellite?

Netgear had a live on the orbi AX unit today on YouTube live and Facebook live... I asked about the satellites. They said in the coming weeks it will be available. Finally!!!

Thank you for the good news. Now I am going to wait for the the new RBS 850 instead of spending money on RBS 50. People are saying that the usable coverage of RBS 850 is better.

Does anyone know if/think this will work with the Orbi wifi 6 system to extend it?

I don't belive so as this time. NG may bring compatibility in future updates. EX even don't work right on Orbi AC unless you ask NG support for special FW build. I had to ask for my EX7700 to work with a RBK50.
