Can you buy a standalone router? RBR850 router is dying, satelites are fine.
After two years of faithful service, my RBR850 router has started to die. However, the three satellites that I have are still totally fine. I'm hoping to replace just the router, and not buy a totall...

Netgear says that the existing RBS850 satellites are compatible with several routers: RBR850, RBR840, RBR750

There are many RBR850 and RBR750 on eBay.
As FURRYe38 mentioned, it is unusual for one of these to "begin failing". Either it works... or it doesn't work.
There is certainly no harm in having a spare on hand "just in case."
