Using Orbi RBS750 satellite with RBR850 router
I have an Orbi RBK 853 which consists of 1 RBR 850 router and 2 RBS 850 satellites. I need a third satellite and none of the RBS 850 are currently available. I bought an RBS 750 satellite and it wo...
No, if your using LAN wied backhaul then the backhaul will be 1000Mpbs for all RBS. Front haul won't matter.
30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Thanks for that reply. So far, the RBS 750 seems to be working very well but I'm still searching for an RBS 850 before the return window for the RBS 750 expires.
The wait maybe longer due to the current world events are going.
I ordered another RBK 853 on Amazon. Should be here Friday.
I needed one more RBS 850 satellite and could use a second for a less than ideal area. The first one is for a basement that is a room-within-a-room, framed in metal and insulated with foiled rigid foam. Not a good area for signal penetration. The less than ideal area has an elevator between it and the nearest satellite. It works, but not well. The RBK 853 should solve both problems. Both will be wired backhaul.
The RBK 853 has two satellites - plus an RBR 850 which I don't need. More $ than I wanted to spend but I'm happy with the initial RBK 853 so I think it was a justifiable investment - at least that's what I'm telling myself.
