RBK850 / AX6000 compatibility with RBS50v2

[buccy]

I recently upgraded my Mesh WIFI system to the Orbi AX6000 router with 2 AX600 satellites.  I have 2 Orbi RBS50v2 satellites left over from my prior setup.  Are the RBS50v2 compatible with the RBR850 router (I have some weak spots in my house where I would like to add 2 additional satellites). If it matters, I have ATT Fiber internet with a BGW210-700 modem. Thanks!

They aren't. And i'm not sure if there's any intention of adding support for them.

You can ethernet connect RBS 50 series to Orbi AX is all you can do.

I used my RBS50's (two of them) in a wired backhaul config for more than a year with my RBR850 and 1 x RBS850 and they worked pretty well together. 

I just recently replaced them with RBS850s (for a total of three satellites -- All 850s now) and the system is working flawlessly.  I passed those satellites on to a friend with an RBR50, so it was a win-win all the way around.
