How far away can you place the Orbi Satellite?
I have a detached garage with a guest apartment above. It sits about 80 feet from my existing Comcast modem and Apple router in my 3500 SF house. I have tried two Netgear extenders with poor results....
Hello Markinportland
Each unit can cover up to 2000 sq feet this will vary based on your environment. Also later on when we are selling individual satellites you can have up to 3 satellites with the one base.

Hi Darren,
Thanks for the info. I still really need to know if there is a max distance that you can place the satellite? Has NetGear tested this?
Hello Markinportland
That really depends on the environment of your area I can not give you a exact number but our satellites do have a LED indicator that lets you know if you are to far away from the base for a good connection to help find how far away you can put the satellite.
