Release date for Add-on Orbi WiFi6 Satellite (RBS850)
There is now a web page for the RBS 850 Add-on satelite along with a release date on Amazon... March 1, 2020 https://www.netgear.com/orbi/rbs850.aspx https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083YRSCM9?tag=...
Any update on a release data for the stand alone units. I was able to score a 2 pack (Router+Sat) for $100 off list but still need at least one more add-on. Amazon says out of stock and netgear page lists no retailers.
Also, does anyone know what the price was prior to being OOS? Hoping less than $400 otherwise I will just get the 3 pack for now.
Have only seen "Coming Soon"
$379.99 was the list price when it was available. From personal experience, 1 ORBI RBS850 Wifi 6 Satelite works as well as 2 RBS50 Satelites in the same environment.
Thanks for the info. Seems an odd price points that it would be $80 cheaper MSRP for a 3 pack than going the 2 plus an add-on, but maybe that is their intention. Either way since I got my 2 pack for $599, it still works out slightly cheaper.
I will test with just 2, but right now I am running 4 in total including an outdoor one. My fear with just the two is that I'll lose connectivity on the patio, but time will tell.
