ORBI WiFi6 RBK852 and Satellites
If I setup the Orbi WFi 6 System AX6000 (RBK852) and implement the ethernet backhaul, will this play well with other Orbi Satellites? For example the Outdoor WiFi Range Extender (RBS50Y) and the Add-...
Currently Orbi AX doesn't support any Orbi AC satellites connected via wireless. You can connect RBSs via ethernet to the RBK852 system and those will work in that configuration. Wireless connection with Orbi AC RBS isn't supported currently.
Thank you so much for responding, then it is safe to assume that these Satellites connected via Ethernet will still support a seamless Mesh?
Ehternet connection is kind of separate currently with RBS50s. Makes any RBS a wireless AP vs Wireless extender which is the main mode of operation when any RBS is wirelessly connected to the RBR. With the RBS850, yes, this is working. For RBS50 series, the wireless connection and sync isn't working. There are two different core codes between the 850 and 50 series systems that seems to make these incompatbile currently via wireless. So when connecting the RBS50 via eithernet to the 850 system, more or less there just wireless APs.
