The router + 2 satelites was convering our house pretty well, but I wanted to ecxtend coverage into the yards.
It didnt see to like daisychain mode with the 4 satelites, but once I switched that off, everything conneced fine.
The bad news: the coverage outdoors is really disappointing. So this experiemnt will be short-lived, returning the extra satelites and ordering some legit outdoor access points to hardwire.
Ealier this week I was doing some work outside my house and my coworker and I were both able to get >25 mbps on our iPhones from more than 500 feet away from the house. That's with the Orbi router and satellite inside the house.
If your outside coverage is disappointing then the problem is probably something other than your Orbi.
You didn't say where you put your satellite when you tested outside, but you should get long ranges with the Orbi outside with clear line of sight to your client devices.
