Can I use an Orbi router as a satellite?
Can I use an Orbi router as a satellite? Strictly based on cost - I see RBK50 (Router and Satellite) on Amazon for $292.99. But I see JUST the satellite for $224.98. Doesn't make sense just to p...
I have an RBR40
My first question is, Is this and older version? because I can't find this version I only see RBR50. Second question is can I connect a satellite with ethernet ports to my RBR40 and if so which one? and if I can add a satellite with ethernet ports will my device get faster service if I plug directly into the satellite like plugging directly into the router?

You probably want the RBS40. This has 4 Ethernet ports on the Satellite. Indeed, the RBK40 is the kit that contains a RBR40 Router and a RBS40 satellite.
The RSB30 is the wall plug satellite and does not have any Ethernet nor USB ports.
The newly released RBS20 is a satellite with 2 Ethernet ports, but I don't thgink that you can buy the satellite by itself.
