Can you have 4 satellites on the RBK50

Costco has the 3-pack RBK50 to allow up to 7500 coverge.  Is it possible to add on another satellite if you have a larger property to allow for more coverage?

      For the AC2200, how many satellites did you have?  The property I was looking to cover is wide (versus high).  I saw the AC2200 have a 4-satellite pack, but not sure if that's better than a AC3000 3-Pack with maybe a potential add-on?

        Netgear recommends up to 4 units but many others have had success with more than that on the network.

  • The limitation would probably be bandwidth and range.

    I have a 5k sq fw home, router at one end of the house up stairs and 1 satellite at the opposite end down stairs, about 40ft distance inbetween. Head that max distance could be 50-60 feet however that depends on building materials and such.

     

    I would think that the main router and 3 stallites places well should be well enough to cover 7500sq ft home. Anything additional or out side this would not be great...these are designed to inside home buildings.
