RBS20s Depending upon the size of your home and building materials, 1 RBS may cover what you need. I have a 5000sq ft home and when I had my CBR40 online with 1 RBS, it was well enough to cover the home with wifi including some outside.

Re: What do I need for whole home wifi with CBR40
how many satellites do you currently have?
What materials is your interior walls made of? certain materials block signals better and you'd need more devices for coverage.
I've got a 3200 sq ft house that I cover with a router and 2 satellites. One per floor. its a little overkill but I use it as an example. I also have an outdoor satellite to cover my backyard.
I'd probably shoot for the cbr40 and at least 2 satellites. make sure they're spread far enough apart. to close together can cause as much issues as to far apart. If 2 doesn't cover it, you can always add another.

any of the satellites work. The rbs20's are cheaper but only have 2 ethernet ports.
But any of them are compatible.
the RBS50's are the best but your cbr40 only has the 866mbps backhaul. The rbs50's support up to 1733mbps like the rbr50 does.
