Does RBS50 have a better contact to the RBK50 as the RBS30?
Hello, I am using an Orbi RBK50 set and would like to add another satellite. The ground floor is to be reached from the 2nd upper floor. I have contact with an RBS30, but the connection keeps breakin...
Thanks for reply.
The distance between the router and the new satellite is already very long. At first I thought Orbi was a real mesh system, which means that each satellite is in contact with another satellite. Therefore 2 RBS30 were in use. But when I realized that every satellite must always be in direct contact with the router, my idea was worthless.
Well, I set up the router in the middle of a house. There follows another room. And two floors down, I put the satellite right against the window.

The distance between my router and Satellite is about 40 feet. Both are at opposited ends of the house and has been working well in this configuration. Satellite is next to a window as well.
I presume you should try placing your two units closer together.
