Mixing old router (RBR20) with new satellites
Hi, I have RBR20 router with one RBS20.
I want to add a setellite. I can get a use one from eBay , the questions are:
1. Would RBR20 have any issue to work with newer satellites RBS40 or RBS50?
2. Netgear seems to have some pre-assigned pairing for satellites with the router that came in same box unless they are tagged as 'Add-On'. Is there a real limitation that preventing pairing a satellite with a router that is not its original pairing?
(in other words, do i have to get an 'Add-On' satellite, or can i get a pre-owned satellite from ebay?)
Thanks
Ron

Yes, the RBS40 and RBS50 can be connected as satellites to an RBR20

Any Satellite -if not pre-synced- can be synced with a Router by pressing the Sync button on both the Router and the Satellite. So yes you can buy a pre-owned Satellite and connect it to your existing Router.
