Orbi system

[Docdees]

I have the prior version of Orbi RBR 53S - 100 NAS and am replacing it with the new 6 version. Question on if the Outdoor Orbi Satellite in the small plug-in RV satellite are compatible with the new system.

Can you be more specific? What model are you choosing to get that will replace the RBK53 system?

Orbi AC WiFi satellites such as the Orbi RBS50Y Outdoor Satellite, Orbi RBS40V Voice, and Orbi RBW30 Wall-Plug Satellite are not compatible with Orbi WiFi 6 Systems.

Is there a new version of the outdoor Orbi and the plug in that works with the new 6 system?
I just spoke to Netgear support and they said they were comparable?

IF you configure the RBSY for Extender mode, then this should work with the new system. NG doesn't have a wifi 6 satellite as of yet on the market.

How do I configure the RBSY for Extender mode?

IF you still have the RBSY connected to a Orbi AC system, this would be the best way to get the RBSY extender mode FW loaded first on the unit. There are two mode FWs available, Orbi and Extender mode. You need extender mode on the RBSY first. Then use the RBSYs web page to configure the unit to connect to the host wifi.
