Connecting Additional Satellites

How Many satellites can I add to the system? I currently have the one modem plus two satellites. 

 

Second, Can I add a newer satellite to the older system RBR50. From a RBK7535-100nas? I would like to purchase the new Costco version but it looks like an upgade. The plan was to keep the second router for a backup and add the two other satellites to the overall system. 

Thanks!

    From Netgear:

    a maximum of six satellites to your Orbi WiFi system with a maximum of two satellites in a daisy chain. You can add more than six satellites, but more than six satellites might negatively affect performance.
