Orbi RBR50 Satellitte compatability.

[darrenp99]

I have an Orbi RBR50 currently setup with 2 x RBS50 satellite, I am looking to add an additonal satellite but i'm having trouble getting hold of another RBS50.

Does anyone know if any of the other models are compatible, maybe the RBS50 v2 ?

Any info would be much appricated.

Thanks

New RBS50 satellites are available on Netgear's website https://www.netgear.com/orbi/rbs50.aspx.

There are also many used ones available on many sites. You can choose an pretty much an AC line of Orbi. But the RBS is more powerful than most of the other AC systems. 

Currently Netgear has the RBS40V tri-band satellite for $99.00. That is a great price. And the fact that it is a great sounding speaker with Alexa, is a plus.

OK, I would search various websites there for new and used compatible Orbi AC#### satellites.

RBS20, RBW30, RBS40, RBS50v2 and RBS50Y are also compatible.

The scenario I am trying to setup is to get a good Wifi signal in my garage as I have a Cycling smart trainer & need to connect to the internet for apps such as Zwift etc. I have had an office attached at the back of the garage so have ethernet  Cat-c cables running from house to garage. So was lookking to daisy chain off of my Orbi RBR50. Hence why i was after another RBS50 or like.

I would appear that all RBS devices appear to be out of stock in the UK at the moment, I see that the AC extenders have an ethernet port but can't confirm if that is only for connecting onward devices or could it be used to connect to my Orbi router & thus extend that way?

Any ideas

NGs EX7700 and 8000 line of extenders work with Orbi. They also have LAN Ports in back.
