Add a Orbi RBW30 to CBR40?

[dstranathan]

I bought the new RBK40 kit (CBR40 modem /router and a RBS20 satellite).

Can I add a RBK30 satellite to this configuration if needed? It would be in an area with mostly smart home devices like smart plugs, lights, cameras etc). I'm asking because I like the small wallplug form factor - and price.

If not, what satellite would be recommended?

Any Orbi satelite would connect to the router. Enjoy!

Thanks Bret.

Sorry for vague question. What Im specifically wanting to know is if there be any unwanted bottlenecks or other performance issues on my LAN by adding a RBW30?

I have seen community members complaining that the RBW30 has been know to cause drop-outs and other side-effects. Perhaps that a result of  buggy firmware?

Thanks
