How many RBS850 satellites will a RBR850 router support
How many RBS850 satellites will a RBR850 router support? I have 3 satellites and tried to add a 4th. Was not able. Is there a limit on satellites for the AX6000?

Not sure if this works for sure.
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 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
Be sure all RBS and the RBR are using same version of FW.

Thanks. Can only get 3 satellites to work. Maybe it is an issue with daisy chaining more than two satellites. Did live chat with support. Said router only would support 3 satellites. Have sent email request to Support. No response yet.
