RBR850 as satellite?
I already have a network with an RBR850 and an RBS850. As I have some weak spots in my house I'm looking for a fair price deal to close these spots, even when the speed there isn't that good. Afaik know to not lose the Mesh-functionality and have devices reconnecting I would need the RBS850 to extend this (which is quite expensive for a handful of devices plus the guest toilette room). Even a single RBR850 is currently cheaper than a single RBS850. Therefore, would it be possible to use an RBR850 as a satellite only in the existing network?

No.
You can use EAX80 as a alternative.

Thanks, can you tell me more about the differences of using an EAX80 vs. RBS850?

Re: RBR850 as satellite?
The EAX would run just as a extender only. It doesn't provide the wireless backhaul like the RBS does. So traffic would only be on the front haul frequencies back and forth between the RBR and EAX.
