Using a different Orbi Model as satellite

Hi,
I have an ORBI RBR40 router and satellite, and has an spare RBR50. Would there be any issue with performance if i connect the RBR50 as a second satellite to the RBR40 router?

You can connect the 50 series RBS to the RBR40. The only thing is that the 50 series support 1733Mbps on it's wirelss backhaul. When it connects to the 40 series, the speed of the 50 series will be reduced to 866Mpbs is all. So it will perform like your other 40 series RBSs.
