Hey, so I have a large home and I want internet in certain areas. My house is Full Wired so I can have the best internet. The problem is I dont know what to Buy. I need 3 aps or Orbi system. Two of then are close and the other one is about 25 meters away. What would you do in my situation? Would you buy 3 access points as I have ethernet ready for then? Or should I invest in orbi system?

You can have Orbi Router and 2 x Orbi Satellites (Package is called RBK53, RBK43 or RBK23) and use wired backhaul to connect the Satellites to the Orbi Router.

I was thinking in RKB50.That would work seamlessly as they are wired ?

I have good wifi coverage all over the house, and at the same time have no dependency on how far the satellite is from the router as I'm using wired backhaul.

And i can connect the for example main orbi router to the satwllite in the orbi lan ports or I have to buy switch?The configuration is easy?

You can use one of those ports on each node to connect the LAN ports between the nodes.https://www.netgear.com/orbi/rbk50.aspx Foxeslink wrote:......The configuration is easy?You can configure Orbi in few minutes using the Orbi app.Just make sure that the ISP modem to which you connect Orbi is a "plain" modem with no router capability, so that the setup procedure will go smooth. :)
