Extend existing ORBI RBK853 Wifi mesh network
Hello, I made a mesh network with the new RBK853 WiFi6. I need to install an additional satellite. What are the various options compatible and available? Thanks so much.
Hello,

Thanks so much.
You can use RBS-50's -- but only if the satellites are hard wired back to the router. The wireless backhaul is not compatible.
If you are able to install hard wired, they work just fine (but without the AX functionality).
- Thank you for the replies.
I don’t really need AX in that zone of my house. I just need a stable signal when i am in those rooms. That’s why i was asking for a compatible solution (also cheaper than AX6000 satellite).
All my satellite are wired with the router: could you please link me the product you are talking about? Thank you- You can try a EAX80 and see if this will connect for you. They are about $250. I know my EX7500 and 7700s do but those are AC extenders.
- Then go the wire route. Other than that it’s going to have to be spending 400
- So also Netgear Nighthawk EAX20 WiFi6 should be fine. Right? I will always have an only SSID mesh network?
Thank you
