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.

Your sitiation is one exsample y I keep pounding Netgear as to the need of Eithernet backhaul, I have the same situation here and I don't think the 5HGz WiFi link is going to be strong enough to be any use. Come on Netgear give us Eithernet backhaul support on the sattlelights. The need for this support is only going to get wors before it gets better.
