Big house - Can I connect up to 20 satellites?
Guys, Can I use 20 satellites wired, no wifi backhand required. I have a huge house with concrete walls that require at least 20 satellites to handle all the floors. Anyone already tested?
schumaku is correct. If you're needing that many satellites, going with a business class setup is a much better option than limiting yourself to the orbi setup.
The next big step in designing and implementing a modern and performing wireless network is the fact that most newer and well performing Wi-Fi APs should be operated either on 2.5 GHz Ethernet, or at least where the additional performance is required on a LAG with two 1 GbE links.
Spotted several implementers of modern wireless AP, wondering why they perform just up to 100 Mb/s (either due to limited Internet speed, or due to classic two-pair network cables only). With just 100 Mb/s Internet connections, even with symmetric 1 Gb/s Internet connections, you won't win a horse race. If you expect to get the best out of the complete network, you need a fast to very fast Internet access, a well performing Ethernet, and matching wireless APs.
