Adding mesh satelights to an existing system

[RingoDivo]

I just purchaed this mesh system that came with one router and 2 satelight extenders. How many additional satelight extenders can I add to this system? Also. I was trying to compare the similar Orbi mesh sysyem to the one I bought, but I found the listed pros and cons differences confusing. Can someone simply explain the the difference between the two? Thank you for your help!

Which system did you buy and what system are you comparing to? 

I'd generally point to this KB article https://kb.netgear.com/000062035/How-many-satellites-can-you-add-to-an-Orbi-WiFi-System

but the problem is the base models can't support the same. So its tough to tell without more details.

I bought the Nighthawk Mesh Wifi 6 System model #AX1800, which came with the router and two mesh satelights.

The system that I was comparing it too that I saw online is Netgear Orbi RBK13-100CNS Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System.

AX1800 isn't a model, its a speed. 

maybe you mean the MK63 system?

Brief comparison?

Both are dual band systems.

RBK13 system is wireless AC1200 system

MK63 is a wireless AX1800 system. 

Both are base model systems for AC and then AX. 

The MK63 system will be faster. I usually don't recommend the dual band systems as I much prefer the speed/stability of the triband systems because of their dedicated backhaul. The only time I'm ok with the dual band systems is when people are using a wired backhaul.
