Can Orbi help with my issues?
Hi everyone. We have comcast as our interenet provider in our home. We have great speeds and have not expereinced issues that way. We do live in a wooded/mountain area so our cell coverage is awful h...
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
Whats the distance between the home and this new building?
I would recommend that you use the Orbi in your main home and run a LAN cable out to the 2nd building and place a LAN to LAN connected wireless access point there for wireless and wired services out there. You can use same SSID names and PWs for each building, as long as channels on 2.4Ghz are set to 1 in the Home and 11 in the other building, 36 on 5Ghz in the Home and 48 or higher depending upon what AP model and Mfr you chose to place in the new building there.
The Orbi would work well in the home with 1 base unit and one satellite. 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials. I have a 5000sq st home and have one router at one end upstairs and 1 satellite down stairs at the opposite end. 40 feet in between them. Great coverage and performance.
