RBR850 System - Satellite Options
I am replacing my old RBR50 system with an RBR850 to improve performance. I have 2 satellites and need a 3rd smaller one. I have a few of the RBS50s and a wall satellite. Will either of those work with the new RBR850? Specifically the wall satellite. If not, what is the least expensive way of adding to it? I only need it for 1 room that just is too far away. Thanks
IT was posted in the recent FW upate for the 7 series:
The 8 series has not seen a v5.something update yet, which I'm not sure if it will get the same 3 series RBS support though I presume it might. Hard to day. If you want some additional signals, either find another RBS8 series or try the EAX80.

RBS50s are not compatible with Orbi AX. I believe there was a recent FW update that mentioned that RBS350 series support.
Another suggestion would be to install a EAX80 which will work as a wifi extender.

Do you know where I can find that information? I want to verify that it will work so I am not wasting my time on it. Thank you for all the help.
