RBR 850 Router - add RBS 750 satellite

I saw a previous post about adding an RBS 750 satellite to an 850 system, but the OP was using wired backhaul.  I am in a similar situation where I need to add an additional satellite to my 852 system, but I will be running it with wireless backhaul.  Will I lose anything by purchasing a 750 satellite?  It's $150 cheaper, but not worth it if it doesn't get the job done.

 

Thanks!

Only connection rates between the connect devcies and the RBS.

The wireless backhaul is the same, however front haul is just a bit slower in rate on the 7 series than the 8 series. Otherwise the RBS will work fine. Look at the spec sheets for each series to see the differences.

Thanks for the reply.  I saw that the 750 is a bit slower, but will it negatively impact the overall wireless speed of the 850 satellite and the router, or only the wireless speed of itself?  I don't want to negatively impact the overall system.  Glad to hear that the wireless backhaul won't be affected.
