Range extender purchase recommendation
I have the Orbi Router (RBR750) Orbi Satellite (RBS750). However I need to extend the wifi on the basement and don't want to buy a whole satellite because it's to expensive I have a Ethernet port in...
Matches well? The actual RBS750 satellite.
Can be used but won't integrate? Pretty much any of the extenders or even a router.
If you've got hardwired access, you can use an extender or a router and run them in access point mode. They won't integrate with your network as part of the mesh. If you're wanting that, get the actual satellite. Otherwise, it merely comes down to what you're budget is and what you want it to do. You didn't give any details of what your budget is or what you're using it for, the coverage area, etc.
I'd probably either look at a router or an EAX extender. Amazon has a pretty good selection of renewed devices which can keep costs down for your purpose. Heck you could get a renewed RBK752 system for around that $200. Use the satellite and keep the router as a backup since you'd have so much into an orbi system
