Compatibility with my existing router
Hello....we have the Orbi RBS40 Router and 2 sattelilites that we have had for about three years. We have moved to a large house and want to add 1-2 additional satellites. I can't figure out what a...
if you have the RBR40 then you can use any of the following::
RBS20
RBW30
RBS40V
RBS40
RBS50
RBS50Y
The 50 series have a wider backhaul but still will work/function at the same speed as the rest.
You can also use the EX7500, EX7700, EX8000 but they don't integrate with the orbi network like the satellites do.
Thank you!! Some of what you said is over my head a little but I get your point!! I appreciate the quick response!
Hope you're able to find some in stock!
I've seen people buy renewed kits just for the satellites and then go and sell the router.
Always an option.
All I'd meant by my prior comments as about the third bands wireless backhaul. The 50 series (RBR50, RBS50) all have a 1733mbps backhaul that connects the satellites/router. The other versions use a 866mbps backhaul. It still works well, its just not quite as "wide" (fast) as the 50 series. But if all you could find was a 50 series satellite, it still works but at the 866mbps backhaul that the rbr40 uses.
