Orbi router extension

So my family has a orbi home system and one router extension. I recently got a pc and need to hardwire it with a Ethernet but my pc isn’t close to the router. And the extension doesn’t have Ethernet ports. Is there a orbi product that is an extension to the home orbi that also has Ethernet ports?

Re: Orbi router extension

the RBK50 system's satellites should be RBS50's and have ethernet ports. 

What "extension" are you talking about?

So our orbi router is actually a RBR20

Re: Orbi router extension

The router itself is an rbr20. What satellites do you have? Do you have any satellites with it or just the router? 

If its just the router, any of the satellites I listed prior would work and have ethernet ports.

Also if more LAN Ports are needed, one can always add on a external LAN switch behing the RBR or RBS for additonal LAN ports.
