Router mode for RBR850 and AP for RBR50

I bought RBK850, and I would like to expand my current network. I’ll have RBR850 runs in Router mode, then will connect RBR50 in AP mode. I have 5 Sats currently connected to RBR50 ethernet backhaul...

I have large house, 12916 Sq Ft, 4 levels.
So even RBK853 can’t cover it, concrete and steel building material.
So I still need RBR50 system for the coverage beside RBK852 I just bought.

Ok, ya that kind of SQ FT, you'll probably need the 50 series as well.
