RBS40 satellite compatible with RBK852 router?

I have a RBR40 router and two RBS40 satellites.  I'm interested in upgrading to the RBK852/AX6000 wifi system.  Is the RBS40 satellite compatible with the RBK852 router?

Model: RBK53|Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System

Orbi AC RBS are not currently supported on Orbi AX. Though NG mentioned they were going to make the 50 series compatible at somepoint. Nothing has of yet though. 

 

Please post about this over in the Orbi AX forum.

Thank you. My old system keeps dropping the internet. Trying to figure out my next step. Your reply is a big factor in that decision and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to answer.

There are two Orbi AX systems now, 850 and 750 series. 

You can wire connect RBS50s to the Orbi AX system. Not sure if RBS40s would work the same. 


Good Luck.
