If you've already got an orbi router (and the rbr50 is a solid one at that) I'd add satellites to it.
You can use the RBR20, RBW30, RBS40, RBS40V, RBS50, RBS50Y.
the EX7500, EX7700, EX8000 would all also work but wouldn't be "controlled" by the orbi router like the full orbi satellites.

Sorry. I think the extender is for our ADT system wich is an Arris Touchstone CM8200. That is what we need the extender for.

the Touchstone cm8200 is a modem only. What router do you have?

We have the Orbi router for our home wifi. The Arris is supplied by ADT and only for our 3 security cams. One camera keeps dropping because its too far away. I think we need the extender for the cameras. Its confusing. The Netgear WN3000RPH extender we have now works, but the red light keeps coming on and our one camera keeps dropping. I'm thinking we need a stronger one. Not sure which one to buy.
Thanks for your help!
