What is the maximum number of Netgear Orbi Satellites that can be supported by Netgear Orbi Router?

I have the rbr20 router with 2 rbw30 satellites. How many more satellites can I add to this? Thanks

Others have posted they have had up to 6 satellites. However that was on the 50 series Orbi. I presume the 20 series system maybe less. 

 

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

I have the same system, but using 5 repeaters (satellites) in the warehouse. It will only display 3 or 4 in the app, but once the 5th is added, a button shows up that says “display other satellites” and clicking on it, expands to display the whole network. Keep in mind, adding satellites doesn’t increase bandwidth or data capability, only coverage area.
