IS THE RBKE963 COMPATIBLE WITH RBS 850 AND 750 SATELLITES?

I have an RBR850 with several RBS850 and RBS750 Satellites.  The coverage is good not great and some of the satellites are hard wired in outbuildings.  I would upgrade to the new RBKE953 if I could still use my legacy Wifi6 satellites. Does anyoneknow if the RBRE950 is backwards compatible with Wifi6 mesh satellites?

      Appreciate the quick response.  Are you saying that the Wifi6E signal won't extend to non-wifi6e satellites or the satellites won't talk to the wifi6e router even for the 2.4ghz signal used by cameras etc.?
