No. They support wireless and wired backhaul. You can use either

Great. Do I need the RBK753 or will the RBK752 work just as well?
Yes, i’m just going to go this route instead of a router.

A "renewed" RBK753 is only $10 more than a "new" RBK752 on amazon. (i'd link to but its part of the T&C of the forum)
I'd be checking into the renewed for th extra satellite. Its worth it. Especially if you need it for the daisy chaining to cover your whole home.
If you're worried about having a short warranty on renewed, amazon's warranties are pretty darned cheap and you'll still be far below the price of 2x RAX50's.

Great point.
Lastly, is it best to hardwire the satelites?

"best" ?
Maybe. I always try to hardwire in satellites when I can but my orbi's have performed well enough I haven't noticed a difference when I'm running a mix of hardwired and wireless.

From what I have read, there is no difference really between the RBK753 and RBK753, right?
By the way, you've been a huge help. Thank you.

Same thing except the S version has Armor included for a certain period of time.
