Addion Satellite Impact To Backhaul
Does adding an addicational satellite impact the speed at which other satellites are able to communicate with the base station? I need to cover a 5300 sq foot house. So I'm looking at one to two ...
hi skrmir
the orbi system has mu-mimo on its backhaul so the addition of a second sat should have very little impact to the first
i suggest you purchase the standard orbi router and sat first and see how it goes as i have a 4500 square house and the router and sat covers the lot with ease
having to many sat's can cause over saturation of the wifi signal and play havoc with band steering and ap steering for your clients

Thanks Pete.
Somewhat related. Do you see any increase in latency when a device is connected to a sat vs the router?

hi josh
nope , i get the same 4ms ping times from connecting to both router and sat , and thats speed testing to a local server , so because of the way the backhaul is handled there doesnt seem to be any jitter or lag added in the data path
