Mixing Products

I have the RBR50 which works fine in the house but coverage to the garden is poor.

Can you mix and match other products with the ORbi.

I was looking at the Draytek VigorAP 918R for the garden?

    No you can't mix and match and have it be mesh (whole purpose of orbi).

    there is an outdoor satellite. The RBS50Y

    other compatible satellites:

    RBS20

    RBW30

    RBS40

    RBS40V (voice model, usually on sale on amazon)

    RBS50

    RBS50Y (outdoor)

     

    Some have reported the EX7500, EX7700, and EX8000 work fine as well. I haven't tried this .
