AX6000 Wired Satellite Limit

Hi 4 satellites (RBS850) won’t be a problem for wired backhaul when paired with RBS850? Is that consensus?

    Yes you can use the RBS50s as wired RBSs. Unfortuneately, they are not compatible wirelesslly yet. No idea when or if that will happen.

     

    Try connecting one of them wired first to the RBR and see if it connects and syncs, if so then just connect the others. if they don't then factory reset them then connect. I think they should sync either way. 

     

    I would first run the Orbi AX with out to see if you really need any additional RBS. 

    30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router

    You mean connected behind the RBR850? Yes, you can have them all connected via ethernet to the RBR.
