Sure does! Only problem is that costco doesnât sell it yet đ and the only version they sell is the slower one RBK 842 smh đ€Šââïž (Router + Satellite )
- Rogelio1Jan 12, 2020ApprenticeI was also looking at the Costco 2 pack and am disappointed they donât have the rbk853.
What did you mean by slower rbk842? How is the rbk842 different from the rbk852? (I thought it might just be the number reserved for big box stores but didnât think to see if it was actually inferior)
Any word on individual satellites for sale???- FURRYe38Jan 12, 2020Guru - Experienced User
I think the differences being the max connection rates on the 2.4Ghz radios are slower on the 40 series AX.
You can look at the spec sheets between the 50 and 40 series to see what they are. I think the 5Ghz wireless backhaul speeds are the same thought.

Are the individual satellites (the 84x or 85x) up for sale anywhere? Only seeing the three pack kit
