RBK50V satellite vs RBK50
Hi all,
Is there a performance difference between the Orbi voice satellite vs the "normal" satellite? I am not crying out for an Alexa speaker (mainly use Google Assistant) but an additional speaker would be nice in the area I have in mind for the satellite, but not if I have to pay a premium for lower performance. I notice reviews that it is based on the RBk44, and not the RBK50 satellite, hence why I am asking.
The main difference from the RBS40V and the RBS50V is the wireless backhaul. RBS40V has 866mbps backhaul and the RBS50 has 1766mbps.
I've never noticed a differnce with mine other than when max speed testing.

Hello. I am trying to make a purchase decision. The RBK50 is $100 more than the RBK50V. I don't think I care about voice and would rather have the two ports, but then again I'd rather save $100 right now. I have an older home and don't think I can put the speaker in a useful place, which is why I would rather have the ports. Are there any other differenes between the two that I am missing?
here's the spreadsheet that breaks it down
Thank you very much for the table. That was helpful and I appreciate your effort.
