Hi!
Actually, I have one last question for you, because now that I think of it, it's not clear on my part:
Does the second RBS satellite communicates with the first RBS satellite? Or does it communicate only with the RBR?
Thanks!

The backhaul itself can either go directly from the second RBS<->RBR or it can be daisy-chained (RBS<->RBS<->RBR). The web ui should tell you which topology you have.
As far as control goes, AFAIK Netgear has never disclosed the details.

Oh ok, I'm using the Orbi app and it's show a straight line crossing the RBR and both RBS. So I guess it means that the second RBS is using the first one. Thanks.
