Adding mesh satelights to an existing system
I just purchaed this mesh system that came with one router and 2 satelight extenders. How many additional satelight extenders can I add to this system? Also. I was trying to compare the similar Orbi m...
Which system did you buy and what system are you comparing to?
I'd generally point to this KB article https://kb.netgear.com/000062035/How-many-satellites-can-you-add-to-an-Orbi-WiFi-System
but the problem is the base models can't support the same. So its tough to tell without more details.
I bought the Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 System model #AX1800, which came with the router and two mesh satelights.

maybe you mean the MK63 system?

Brief comparison?
Both are dual band systems.
RBK13 system is wireless AC1200 system
MK63 is a wireless AX1800 system.
Both are base model systems for AC and then AX.
The MK63 system will be faster. I usually don't recommend the dual band systems as I much prefer the speed/stability of the triband systems because of their dedicated backhaul. The only time I'm ok with the dual band systems is when people are using a wired backhaul.
