Asking about Compatibility of RBS20 and RBS50 with the new Triband RBR750
I just purchased a new Orbi router and 2 satellite bundle from Costco, the AX4200 which also lists RBK753S on the box. I wanted to add more satelites to my home, but Costco does not sell just the...
Okay, just was about to ask that. So you are saying that I can take my old RBR50 router, and plug it into one of the ports on the RBR750, and it will work, and I will just have two networks? or if the SSID is the same, will I have an expanded network now?
Please elaborate. Thank you!

You'll have two separate networks if you connect the RBR50 to the RBR750. You can do this. Set the RBR50 to AP mode. Set channels to 1 on the RBR50 and channel 11 on the RBR750. Same with 5Ghz channels, use far appart channels. Placement of the 50 from the 750 as far appart as well. You can also lower the power output of the 50 from 100% to 50 or 25% to lesson the foot print and wifi signal over lap with the 750s signal.
