Orbi 6 AX6000 - How many satellites - Wired Backhaul possible?
Although I have seen it written in different forums that the latest Orbi 6 is expandable with the ability to add additional satellites and that the satellites can use a wired backhaul... I have yet t...
So could I purchase 2 of the RBK852 kits equaling (2 Routers + 2 APs) and use one of the routers in an AP mode? This would give me the 1 Router and 3 AP's I need. Again... with all backhauls being hard wired? Is this scenerio feasable?
Thanks!

Will;
I would be patient and start out with an RBR853 kit that has either one or two satellites. I understand the two satellite pack is now available and that additional individual satellites are being soon released for individual sale.
I wouldnt encourage you to waste your $$ for what would effectively be a useless RBR853 -- because it cannot be used as a satellite.
Depending on your location, recommend you look at COSTCO etc for the new products -- and of course ask on here where they are available. Patience is the name of the game.
Remember, the AX6000 has a much larger footprint than the RBR50s. You may want to get into it slowly to see what coverage you get and then get individual satellites as necessary.
Can anyone tell me what the two pack is currently going for with Costco? We are not members and pricing is hidden. But if the price is right we certainly would become members! We currently have Ubiquiti's Amplfi mesh system and it's fading quickly after two years of service and need to do something soon.
Thanks again
