Orbi AX4200 WiFi 6 High-Performance Router (RBR750)
Hello Community, I have purchased the below product and it has 2 satellite already and I would like to know if I could add 2 more satellites Orbi AX4200 WiFi 6 High-Performance Router (RBR750) RBR...
Yes, you can add two RBS750 satellites to this system.
However.....
When Netgear decided to create a "less expensive" AX series Orbi by combining one RBR750 router with two RBS350 satellites, they did not anticipate the nightmare this would cause for some customers when Netgear released updated firmware for the RBR750 router and RBS750 satellite, but did not update the firmware for the RBS350 satellites.
When users have updated the router in that package to the latest firmware, suddenly their systems failed dramatically. There have been dozens of anguished posts on the community forum as users learn how to "roll back" their routers to the previous firmware in order to get their systems to function again.
Please be cautious. Always check the support site for the RBK653 system

Select Downloads and observe which firmware is compatible with this package. Currently it is v4.6.14.3 Customers who have a package ("K" for "kit") consisting of only RBx750 units (no RBS350) have new features and capabilities in the v7 firmware.
How many satellites does RBR750 supports? Can it support 4 satellites like this combination below.
RBS350 -2 nos
RBS750-2 nos
My firmware is at level v4.6.11.1 at the router RBS 750 and also at the satellites at v4.6.11.1

Be sure if you get two RBS750s, they will need to be on same V4 FW as the currently running system.What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
1,520 sq feet. I don't have any firewall installed.
For that size of home, the RBR and just one RBS750 should work well for you. Having that many RBS maybe over saturating the home and causing problems. Too Much Wifi: https://youtu.be/UR0viMLISz4
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR 📡 and RBS 🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wired or wirelessly connected.
