Orbi mix

Hello,

I currently have an Orbi rbs850 ax6000 with 2 satellites. Can I add another satellite that is a duodenum model?

    You need to find satellites that are compatible with the router. RBS850 is the satellite model. That implies that the router is an RBR850.

     

    I have no idea what a "duodenum model" is.

     

    While many questions about routers are generic and could be answered anywhere, some things need specialist knowledge.

    You might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

    Orbi WiFi 6 (AX) and WiFi 6E (AXE) - NETGEAR Communities

    Those things are different from the standard Netgear routers covered in this section.

    You might like to search there for messages related to your problem.

    I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.

    In the meantime you could visit the support pages:

    Support | NETGEAR

    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.

    Check for various troubleshooting tips.

    You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.

    I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.

  • What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?

     

    What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

     

    Only other model RBS that are compatible is the 750 and 350 series. Other non Orbi wifi extenders that are compatible as extenders are EX7500/7700/8000 and EAX series extenders.
