I think I might just try the RBW 30 and I will get it from Amazon and if it doesn't do what it's supposed to then send it back and try the other from Costco.

Thanks for the advice

    Hi,

    I bought the RBW30 and it works fine.

    I paired it up in the house and took it out to the garage and it works well.

    Getting 585 mbps out there and that's through 2 brick walls.

    It's probably about 30 to 40 feet from the router in the house.

    I will say it's a pain to pair up but once I got it it works fine.

    Thanks

        Fully heated with running water. I have a shop out there that I work out of.

        Should be good.
