Are RBSx50 satellites with RBK50 router compatible?

Are RBSx50 satellites with RBK50 router compatible?

I have a RBK50 with one RBS50 satellite. They are Backhaus connected wired using a HP switch. I want to add additional satellites to extend the WLAN mesh range.

Can I connect the newer series RBS850, RBS750, RBS350 satellites with wired backhaul and integrate in the existing Mesh?

I couldn’t find anything about that. RBS are not available broadly anymore and expensive compared to the newer models. Also usually you rather want to invest in more up to date technology. Can anybody help? Support would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

No, they are not.

Only the original Orbi "ac" satellites are compatible:

RBS50, RBS40, RBS20, RBS40V, RBS50Y

 

Although not available at retail, they are readily available on eBay.
