RBK852 - Additional Satellites - Can I use my old RBK50’s

Looking to purchase a RBK852 and currently have the RBK50 with 4 satellites. The only SKU for the RBK852 has the main unit and a single satellite. 

 

1. Is there a way to acquire more satellites? I can't seem to find one.

2. Can I use my old satellites from the RBK50. YES, I know I won't have WI-FI 6 in those areas - but just wondering if I can use them.

You posted this in the wrong forum area (ReadyNAS), so I moved it to the Orbi AX forum for you.

ORBI AC satellites don't currently work with Orb AX via wireless backhaul. Only wire connected ORBI AC satellites will work. NG doesn't have any add-on RBS850s at the moment. I presume in the near fugure they wiil be. Also future updates may result in ORBI AC satellites becoming compatible wirelessly.
