Anyone have a RBK23?
I am looking for a Mesh solution for a new house. I saw the RBK23 model and am intersted in it. The house is three floors but the top floor is just a bonus room. So, I would place one unit on each...
Depends on the distance from the router or satellite out to your garage. I got great singal from my friends RBK50 system at his house after I got it setup. I left that day and got in my car which was at least 30 feet from the house. I had full signal and internet access with my phone sitting in the car. Not sure if the 23 series has the same power though...
I prefer wired anything over wireless if there is a possibity of using it. Yes, use of non managed switches should not effect the Orbi. I have several connected with mine and two in between my router and 1 satellite. Zero issues.
Thanks again for all the help.
The main unit will be in a closet not far inside the front door. And it sorta backs up to the garage. So, really close, but I hate that it has to be in a closet.
As far as the back yard goes, that's a bit further but I'm also hoping the satellite on the second floor will be close"ish" to the back side of the house.
Worse case scenrio is I will eventually buy one of the outdoor units. But that will not be connected via cat5.
