      You can add another RBS. ALL RBS perform wired or wireless backhaul and help extend the wifi signal that comes from the RBR.

    You are not limited to one wired satellite.... on my setup I have a switch "downstream" of the RBR850....  I have two satellites (RBS5's) connected via CAT5 back to the switch.    My RBS850 is wireless back to the RBR850.

     

    Summary:  run additional CAT 5 or 6 to the location you want to put another satellite and it will work fine.
