Orbi RBK50 vs RBR50 Difference

I found the RBR50 selling the two piece set for $269, which is about $100 less than the RBK50 two piece system which makes me suspect there must be a significant difference.  Cannot find an article explaining what the difference might be.

Correct.  You will not be able to pair two Orbi Routers together to form a system.  You need 1 Orbi Router + (1 or more) Satellites.  We do sell Stand Alone Orbi Routers and Stand Alone Satellites

RBK50 is a kit, one RBR50 Router and one RBS50 Satellite.

 

RBR50 is just the Router designation, so if its two pieces of RBR50 you are getting two routers.  Not very useful together.
