Will The AC3000 Router Work As A Satellite?
I have recently purchased the AC3000 router & single satellite package (RBK50-100CNS) for my home. Seems to work decent except I need more range..
Having looked around, they want almost as much money for a single satellite unit as they do a router/satellite package.
My question is, if I purchased another router/sateliite package, could i use both units as satelitites??

Welcome to the community, @wantbetterwifi
You will have to configure the second Orbi router to be in AP mode then it will be connected through wired connection on the first satellite.
Then for the 2nd satellite, it will be synced to the 2nd router that's in AP mode by using the snyc button.

Re: Will The AC3000 Router Work As A Satellite?
Ok, do I understand this right?
Internet connected to Router1
Router1 is in routermode
Router2 is in AP-mode and is wired with ethernet to Router 1
Satellite 1 & 2 is connected to Router2 wireless
The big question for me is if Router1 is the ”main” Router and handle the one and only SSID in this ”system”. The satellites (who is connected to Router2) use/send the SSID from Router1?
If this works i maybe have a fake wired backhaul, but i sure works fine for me.

Re: Will The AC3000 Router Work As A Satellite?
Router + Satelite is right now on sale for $280, while a 1 Satellite is $204, so getting 2x RBS50 is just more expensive.
Was hoping to sve money
