can orbi RBR50 and RBR750 run simultaneously
Sorry if I sound really ignorant. This is my first post here and I am sadly a self educated network newbie for my home. We first had google wifi and then switched to the OrbiRBK53 about 1 year ago. W...
Thank you again! Before I buy the 752, is there any other network extender that could connect wirelessly to my RBR50 that I can use to extend my coverage (it's okay if it is a different SSID) to save a little money instead of buying the 752 right now or another RBS50? In the areas where I have good coverage which is now almost everywhere, I am more than happy with the 300-500mbps speed I am getting and am very happy with the Circle app and I don't need the Circle for the extended wifi which will be used by me and my husband. Just seems crazy to spend more than $200 for the new RBS50.
Thanks again!
Yes, RBS20, RBW30, RBS50Y outdoor, and RBS40v with Voice. Also EX7500, 7700 and 8000 work as well with both systems though will be extenders only.
Thanks so much for all of your help!
Let us know how it turns out.
Good Luck.
Follow up. I installed the RBK752 in access point mode. I had to redo it at first because I needed to change the channels before I went to access point mode because I couldn't figure out how to change it after it went into AP mode. Would there have been a way to do it after in AP mode? What if I need to change a setting now? would I still be able to make the changes through the orbilogin.net? Not sure what I did wrong initially but it's okay.
I kept the RBR50 as the main router because I needed Circle for my kids. the RBR750 in AP mode gave me close to 400mbps (I pay for 600mbps) at a really far point from the RBR750 but fairly close to the satellite. The Satellite is in the same location that I used to have the RBS50 and I could never get above 150-200 on the best of days and often well below 100. Really happy I spent the extra money and got the RBK752 instead of an additional RBS50.
Thank you so much for your help!!
