CBR40 and two(2) RBS20

We currently have the CableRouter CBR40 and two (2) satellites RBS20.  Where we get coverage, it is good.  We can have as many as 20 devices on-line at the same time.  Also, there are parts of this very spread-out house that does not get coverage.   

Questions:

1.  Is there an upward limit to how many devices can be supported with this setup?

2.  If yes, what is solution?

3.  To cover the rest of the house, will an additional RBS20 help (and can the CBR40 support another satellite)?

4.  I am seeing plug-in extenders on this site, but no apparent way to purchase them.

Thank you

  • Well, I can see that there's very little traffic on this community page for CRB40 products. Have you tried other forums and if so, which ones?
