Adding RBS40 to RBK53 non-daisy chain setup; will overall speed drop from AC3000 to AC2000?
I've got a well-functioning RBK53 system w/ one RBR50 and two RBS50s in a non-daisy chain setup (router at central point in network) on a 940 Mbps ISP service. RBK53 is an AC3000 system with 866 Mbps...
The connection speeds would only be between the RBR50 and the RBS40. It's back haul speed would be only 866Mbps and not 1733Mpbs. 400Mpbs on 2.4Ghz betrween the RBR and RBS.
(866+866+400Mbps)†
30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
So only that leg between RBR50 <-> RBS40 would run backhaul at reduced speed? That would be okay under circumstances, as long as the other legs aren’t also slowed-down. I had read a review that stated the Orbi system decreased overall to the speed capacity of lowest link. Distance between RBR50 and RBS40 is >60’.
What you should try this this before and after you add the RBS40:
