Can I use an RBR850 as a satellite?

HI all, I have an extra Orbi RBR850 from another house....I factory reset it for future use if needed. My question is, can I use this as an RBR850, ie add it to my mesh network as an additional satellite? If so, is there anything different I Need to do? Thanks!

  • No. it can't function as a satellite. You could always use it in access point mode but it wouldn't integrate with the current mesh.
