Rbk752 support orbi voice rbs40v

The new WiFi 6 mesh systems have no support for WiFi 5 or orbi voice rbs40v satalites.

These are expensive pieces of kit that if a user upgraded to new WiFi 6 models like the RBK752 they will find their orbi voice is no longer supported, I find this a downgrade not an upgrade and netgear should make all WiFi 5 satalites compatible with WiFi 6 rather than just leaving them aside

  • I agree as I'm curently in the same boat.

     

    I have 4 sataliets total + the router and would like to have the orbi voice in the same time would like to upgrade to wifi6 orbi but for the last year been waiting for it to be released without the sataliets and another 6 months later yet there aren't any satalites for wifi 6 I've subscribed to their RBS850 but for the amount un announced and the money spent NETGEAR can do much better with a retrofitting internal hardware or components for sale for half the RBS850 sataliet add on price.

     

    also not to be able to have it also connected to the gaming nighthawk.

     

    I suggest a better customer support for international customers specially those who have locked frimware by the telecom providors and would like to update and upgrade to the latest.
