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?
Thanks. Distance is not an issue. When doing 4 total, three of the satelittes would be in a line. Have tried both one at a time and all at once with no luck. Three are working now with 2 in a line. Could try to add 4th again but last time had to remove 4th and reset everything so am hesitant. Will try to call Netgear tomorrow.
Possible that having several in a line may not work, Possible Star formation may work.
Finally reached customer support by phone after an extensive wait. Explained my issue but no resolution so I was transfered to an "expert." After another wait explained again. Support said router would only support 3 satelittes. If I added a 4th it would drop the internet. Was not a daisy chain issue. Explained my house size and configuration and asked how I could extend the coverage. Support said no need since three satelites should easily cover. I've done signal strenght measurements and do not have total coverage. Support said try moving the satellites around till it works... So I guess I will try to figure out how to return one of the sateliites. Really seems like a great product, but tech documentation and supprt are lacking.
Thanks for letting us know this information.
