Best choice for >150' linear coverage
I am trying to pick the best Orbi kit for my application. Currently I am using an ASUS AC1900 router with a TP-Link RE-580D extender. The router is about 50' from the extender servicing a guest hous...
Yes I am aware that the satellites are not currently daisy chainable. The customer service rep I spoke with insisted that they will be through an upgrade in the near future. When I challenged her on this she didn't know a timeline only that it was in the works. I had read that somewhere else as well but it wasn't clear if that included the wall plug satellites.
The Asus AC1900 is working well covering the house from a corner location so I think the Orbi will work without a satellite for that. Though your suggestion would be optimal, I can't relocate it closer to the guest house.
There is a chance that new firmware will add the ability to connect the Orbi router and satellites using a wire. I've never heard any talk of adding the ability to daisy chain them, either wired or wirelessly. That would be interesting though.
For what you are doing a wireless bridge with directional antenna would be the best technical solution.
