A:AnswerFrom the description it has:
7 Gigabit Ethernet ports for flexible connectivity
With a total of 7 Gigabit Ethernet ports, you are able to easily create a direct connection with your home media center, game consoles, and home office devices.
A:AnswerThe satellite can be connected to the main unit by either the RF link (the 3rd band) or with an Ethernet cable. In the user manual, this is called "Set Up an Ethernet Backhaul Connection"
Personally, I would use Ethernet if you already have the cabling in place.
A:AnswerYou're describing the situation I'm in right now. The answer is, yes the router will work fine w/o the satellite. My satellite (RBS50) is currently waiting on an RMA replacement and is functionally dead. I'm typing this from the 3rd floor of my 3000 sq.ft. house. The router (RBR50) is on the first floor. Still works fine. Netgear support, on the other hand, could have handed this RMS process better!
A:AnswerIf you have a hardware issue, they should help you with an RMA if it's w/in the first year since purchase. After 90-days, and 1-year for hardware, they will sell you extended support. Didn't get the price on that.
A:AnswerThis is the US version of the product and requires a 110-120v powered connection. We recommend purchasing locally to ensure compliance with regional power standards.
A:AnswerThe RBK50 kit comes with 1 RBR50, 1 RBS50, and an Ethernet cable. To find the Orbi router system that's right for your specific needs: https://www.netgear.com/orbi/wifi-systems.aspx
A:AnswerThe Orbi router requires a direct Ethernet connection to your home's modem. The satellite can connect wirelessly (or via Ethernet if preferred) to the router and does support a wired connection to your home's computer, Smart TV, gaming systems, and much more!
A:AnswerThe Orbi is a router and creates a “WiFi mesh”. It is not a WiFi booster. If you live in an apartment, or small house, you could probably get by with just the router (RBR20), as it covers up to 2000 sq ft. I have the RBK50, (router and satellite) and it covers up to 5000 sq ft. If you have an ISP’s modem or modem/router combo, the Orbi will connect to the ISP’s device via the supplied Ethernet cable.
A:AnswerNo you cannot. This package includes a router and a satellite if you wish to increase your range just purchased another satellite package and add it to your existing orbi system.
