Additional Orbi Satellite availability in UK?
Does anyone have information / dates on when we can purchase an additional Orbi Satellite to extend our system? I have great coverage for two-thirds of my home and "ok" coverage for the remaining third. I would really like the additional satellite but they are still not available here in the UK for some reason.
Could someone from Netgear or a reseller/partner give me an idea of when they will be available (and why they aren't already on sale?)?
Thanks
Should be available in UK early Q2. Maybe a bit earlier if possible.

Thanks for responding... it's a shame that it won't be sooner.
you must have a huge home , or lots of solid walls , as the router and sat here cover my 250smtr home with ease
can i order a satellite from the US?
I bought a set of two and it doesnt cover my 2500 sq foot house
hence need third.

you have other issues if the orbi router and 1 sat cant cover such a small home , you may want to look at other options like power line adapters etc as i suggest you local construction materials and or environment are not conducive to good wifi propagation
OK - now in early Q2 - not earlier - can we have an update please on when either the RBK 3 pack or an additional satellite will be available in the UK? Been in the US for months - not sure why it takes so long to make available over here? Mr Netgear please can we have an update? Thanks!
Hello Everyone
I have checked on this again and they will not be released in Q2 it looks like Q3 is the new launch time. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

Will add my voice here as well, as I am not so patiently waiting for satellite availability in Europe (assume timelines are the same for UK and Europe (NL specifically))
Still here patiently waiting....
If Mr Netgear is not available for comment, could DarrenM possibly update us instead. :smileyhappy:

I think this is case for NL as well, at least in Amsterdam, as the system with one satellite does not reach to all corners of my house (only 150 square meters). I accept that it is a difficult case for Wifi which is why I need the availability of the additional satellite.
And it is the same for (far) northern europe - houses are built for winter conditions... more satellites to the people! ;-)
Well that is disappointing news, maybe time to start looking into the reviews on the Linksys solution that has satellites available in the EU or be more patient..........
Is the availability for the other new orbi systems in the EU also going to Q3?
