Orbi RBK53

Can I add another Orbi satellite to my recently installed RBK53? I want to purchase another Orbi satellite to go into my nearby annex which is 62 feet away from the new Orbi RKK53 router. Can anyone please recommend the Orbi satellite model I should buy RBK 50??

 

Thanks

    Any of the satellites will work. 

    the benefit to the RBS50 is that is has a wider (higher throughput) backhaul.
