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 I joined Costco. They are selling a 3 pack of the RBK53 (1 Router+2 Satelites) for $320. Netgear's site is selling what is advertised as a Version 2... Costco's site makes no reference to version so I assume it's a V1. If anyone is familiar with the differences or if you know if version 1 should be avoided, please let me know because I am considering these instead.
Tell me if my logic is faulty... All of my satelites will be hard wired, all media devices will be plugged into satelites and I don't know that we own any AX devices. We would only have a few phones and a couple of laptops that connect wirelessly. We are rural with a wireless isp and a whopping 8 Mb download speed. Does it make any sense to purchase the AX6000 version when I could have all that I need (in number of satelites) to cover our property for half the price?
Thanks again for your input!

RBK50 series v2's don't come with a USB adapter. I think there was a minor memory size change as well. Otherwise, v1 and v2 are the same.
