A:AnswerI don’t believe a WiFi 6 satellite is compatible with an older router and I had to order a satellite elsewhere as Best Buy didn’t carry the older WiFi 5 satellites. This was early spring 2022 and there was mention of a firmware update from 2021 (that hadn’t happened) on an Orbi website.
A:AnswerI don't think the WIFI 6 satellite is compatible with the older router and was told Best Buy doesn't carry WIFI 5 Orbi anymore. I had to go outside of Best Buy and purchase NETGEAR Orbi Voice Smart Speaker & WiFi Mesh Extender with Amazon Alexa Built-in (RBS40V) and it works with my RBR20 router.
A:AnswerYou need to buy the 2 piece orbi.. you can only use a extenders if you have a main router. So to buy this single one can be added to a 2 piece orbi to make it a 3 pc. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerYes, I just bought one and added it to my RBK852 (AX6000) system and it works great. Didn't want to spend the extra money for another RBS850 and this works just as well without the extra ethernet ports which I don't need in my situation.
A:AnswerThey say it is,but I couldn't get my outdoor satellite to work. Supposed to put in extender mode but working with tech support for 2 hours and they finally hung up! lol.
