Help understanding the current Orbi bundles - LAN ports required
I want to buy an Orbi but I'm not sure which bundle to get. My requirements are simple: 2 story house, 2000 sq feet, base router downstairs, satellite upstairs. The router I am replacing downstairs has 1 WAN/4 /LAN cables currently plugged in. The upstairs router needs one LAN port, but two would be better. Any advice is appreciated.
