Which Orbi satellite to buy?

I currently own an Orbi RBR50 with an Orbi RBS50 satellite.   I need to add another satellite and have noticed that there are now several new add-on satellite options.   Any thoughts on which one to buy?

 

Other than the RBS50, there is the:

  • RBS850
  • RBS750
  • RBS10

 

Thoughts?

 

Thank you.

Alas, none of these satellites will integrate with the existing RBR50 router.

The RBS750 and RBS850 are the newer "AX" satellites, which are not compatible, and

The RBS10 is the "cheapo" Orbi router which is also not compatible.

 

The only satellites which will integrate with the Orbi RBR50 are the RBS50, RBS40, RBS20, RBW30, and RBS50Y (outdoor) satellites.

 

Orbi satellites are really difficult to purchase.  This sucks.

The RBS40V should also work. I mention it only because of this bit:

The RBS40V is one of the few Orbi satellites designed to sell as a standalone device.

 

But you may not want a satellite that you can shout at. Come to think of it....
