Orbi RBK40 as AP
Hi.
I have a RBK40 with a RBW30. But it's not enough for my house. I would like to buy a RBK20 with RBS20, because of the price, instead of buying two satellites. Then use the RBK20 as router, RBS20 and RBW30 as satellites for the RBK20. Then the RBK40 as a wired AP to the RBK20.
Is this possible?
If so, do I need two diffent SSID's?
BR, Kim.

I think that you meant RBR in all RBK that you mentioned above! 🙂
Yes, the configuration you are suggesting above should be ok:
RBR20 as your main router (in Router Mode) with two satellites: RBS20 and RBW30.
Then you want to use the RBR40 as a wired AP (in AP Mode). In this case, yes you have to use 2 different SSID's in the RBR20 and RBR40.

Yes I saw this just now. Hoping for a firmware update, so the RBK40 can work as a satellite. Don't wan't two SSID's again. That's why I changed to the Orbi system.

Any RBR## unit will never be supported as a satellite. Only works in main router mode or AP mode only. Will not work as a satellite or work as a extender for wifi.
