RBR 850 Router - add RBS 750 satellite
I saw a previous post about adding an RBS 750 satellite to an 850 system, but the OP was using wired backhaul. I am in a similar situation where I need to add an additional satellite to my 852 system, but I will be running it with wireless backhaul. Will I lose anything by purchasing a 750 satellite? It's $150 cheaper, but not worth it if it doesn't get the job done.
Thanks!

The wireless backhaul is the same, however front haul is just a bit slower in rate on the 7 series than the 8 series. Otherwise the RBS will work fine. Look at the spec sheets for each series to see the differences.
Thanks for the reply. I saw that the 750 is a bit slower, but will it negatively impact the overall wireless speed of the 850 satellite and the router, or only the wireless speed of itself? I don't want to negatively impact the overall system. Glad to hear that the wireless backhaul won't be affected.
