Multiple RBR50s and Satellites, which configuration makes the most sense?
I have a RBR50 Router + 2 RBS50 Satellites and am replacing an old access point (diff brand) in my detached office. I have ethernet running from the main router to the office and so after speaking with someone in Netgear Chat Help they said I just needed another Satellite. I bought a pack with a RBR50 router and RBS50 Satellite as it was cheaper than just the satellite alone. Now I am reading that I could turn the router into an AP. My office is so far away from the house that the Satellite wont make a wifi connection and would always be fed from the ethernet, sp would I be better using the router in Access Point mode or the Satellite? Either way they would be plugged in to ethernet. Ideally, I am just want solid wifi that covers my office and allows my phone to seamlessly switch between the house wifi and the office wifi. Thanks.

Re: Multiple RBR50s and Satellites, which configuration makes the most sense?
You could do it either way.
If you're only going to need 1 access point in the office, I'd just use the satellite and either sell the router to recoup some $ or I'd hang onto it for a backup incase the primary ever goes bad.
