Orbi AX6000 max number of satellites

How many satellites can be installed in a single Orbi AX600 (Orbi Pro WiFi 6 - SXK80B4) deployment?

the official says 4 with good performance. You can add more but it might impact performance. Official says up to 6 with potential performance  decreases.

How many satellites can you add to an Orbi WiFi System? | Answer | NETGEAR Support

 

I've seen more used but usually some are ran with a wired backhaul.

@BruceGuo They might want to change the "applies to..." on the side bar then as it lists those models of orbi pro as an applies to device.

@plemans The fine print of the referred KB entry does also state: "Currently, the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mesh system supports 6 satellites." The text layout is ... awful however.

@schumaku Yep, and I put that in my response that you can have up to 6.

I've even seen more ran than that but usually a mix of wired/wireless backhauls used to help negate the performance decreases.
