Orbi routers

Is it possible to use my old Orbi Router and satellite with the newest Orbi system in order to expand the range of my current setup?

What actual systems do you have? It matters model wise.

Will a new AX system integrate with the old AC system? No. but you could connect the old system in access point mode (with different ssid/wireless channels) and use it in conjunction with the new system.

Re: Orbi routers

I have an RBR20 main router and RBS20 satellite.

So they won't work to extend the range? only as access points?

 

Would that mean that if I was on the other SSID any networked devices on the new ssid wouldn't work? (or opposite if I changed the ssid on the newer routers to what is existing)

Hello minkus,

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
I understand that you are looking for information about compatible devices with your RBR20.


The RBR20 is compatible with the following Orbi AC Satellites -  RBS10, RBS20, RBW30, RBS40, RBS40V, RBS50, and RBS50Y. 

Best,
Kevin
