Awesome, thanks for letting us know. I'm sure everyone will be happy to get an add-on RBS.

Any update on a release data for the stand alone units. I was able to score a 2 pack (Router+Sat) for $100 off list but still need at least one more add-on. Amazon says out of stock and netgear page lists no retailers.
Also, does anyone know what the price was prior to being OOS? Hoping less than $400 otherwise I will just get the 3 pack for now.
As satelites will apparently not be released soon enough and I am trying not to refund my ax6000 system, has anyone tried bying a second complete system and using the components as satelites. I can not keep this system if my bsement remains uncovered. Thanks in advance
- I have contacted customer service multiple times with no luck. I preordered 2 add-ons at the end of March for my system. They have charged my credit card. When I call they promise me it will ship soon but still nothing.
- This worked for me previously, but only the RBS satellite unit from the second system will connect to your existing AX6000 system. The second system router unit can’t be used as a satellite, so you would have an extra unused router and 1 more satellite.
How many satelites can you add to an RBR850. I have three satellites. Tried to all a 4th and had trouble
