Does adding in orbi satellite RBS40 (AC2200) slow down the overall speed of the network?

Hi there

 

I have the RBK50, however I plan to add the RBS40 as I need to increase the range.

 

I was wondering if I add this, given that its a star topologu would this slow down the overall system? 

(i.e. the other satelitte I already have running at AC3000 will still be able to perform at that speed?)

 

Just wanted to check that the overall system doesn't run at the speed of the lowest rated satelillite.

 

Thanks

Just devices connected to the satellite but there shouldn’t be any speed difference. Satellite is getting the WAN bandwidth from the router and shouldn’t see any drop due to dedicated backhaul channel.\
