How many satelites does a RBK50 — Orbi AC3000 Tri-band WiFi System support?
I am considering the Orbi RBK50 for my home. It is a large home spread out over a single storey, with a lot of brick and glass. The fibre has been terminated by the ISP in the worst place possible ...
I have a 5000sq ft hone, two story. Have the Orib base at one end and just one satellite at the other end at about 40 feet in between. Great coverage and performances.
30 feet is recommended in between base and satellite(s) to begin with depending upon building materials.
Add what you see fit or what the system seems to lack in if you have a wide area to cover.
Daisy Chain is NG piggy back feature for satellites.
The RBK53 should do it. RBR50 router plus 2 satellites. Latest firmware supports daisy chaining, so you should have no problem covering up to about 100 linear feet. Maybe as much as 10000 square feet.
