ORBI WIFI 6

I have a ORBI WIFI-6 model G3100 (master and one satellite.  If I want to extend coverage can I just buy one more satellite and add it to the system.  If so is there one you would recommend?

    What model is the Orbi RBK3##, 7## or 8##?

    G3100 is not a NG model # for Orbi.

      G3100 is a verizon router. Are you sure you have an orbi setup? 
      Of is the G3100 the gateay the orbi is connected to?

      Apologies.  I did give the model number for the verizon router to which the ORBI router is linked.  The Orbi Router and Satellite are RBR50v2.  Can I just add another Sattelite to extend the coverage.

        Yes. 

        RBS20, RBW30, RBS40v or RBS50 will work. EX7500, 7700 or 8000 will work in a pinch but not integrate like RBS do. 

        Orbi AX RBS will not work with Orbi AC systems.

         

        Will move this thread to the Orbi AC forum. 

         

        Good Luck.
