Orbi Home Selection

[Dtatewv]

I apologize in advance but after trying to read through all the documentation I am more confused then I was before I started.

I currently have a RBR40 with 9 satellites connected.  The satellites are a combination of RBS20 and RBW30.

My home is approximately 7200 sqft.

I was thinking of upgrading to a RBK52 series which uses the AC300 in lieu of the AC2200.  It is my understanding that if I do this, I can continue to use my RBW30 satellites, but the RBS20 will not work.

I also am considering upgrading to the AX series.  I am trying to figure out the difference between the different AX series (4200, 6000) and the different kits RBK752, RBK852, RBK853.

Questions:

1. Can you point me to technical docs that explain the differences or give me a break down so I better understand?
2. Do they make an outside satellite that will work with the AX
3. Can you confirm that the RBS satellites I have now will NOT work with the AX series?

Wow, you really have 9 RBSs connected to the 1 RBR? 

All AC RBS series will work with the 50 series RBR.

Be aware the Orbi AC series RBS are not compatible with Orbi AX currently.

My setup

Fiber to the home plugged into a Meraki FW, 300 Mbps up/down service.

Meraki as the FW, connected to an RBR40 running V2.3.5.32, (qty 3) RBS20 running version V.2.3.5.30, (qty 6) RBW30 running V.2.3.5.6

RBR in Bridge mode.

So, if I understand your topology, you are running an AX and an AC network.  Are you getting two separate IP’s from the Service Provider?

Interesting. 

Techincally your in AP Mode. Orbi doesn't have a bridge mode.

Yes I am.
