If I am planning to use an ethernet backhaul, is the RBK40 then equivalent to the RBK50?
Title pretty much says it all. I know that there's a higher bandwith backhaul antenna in the RBK50, but if I'm using a wired backhaul instead is there any benefit to having the 50?
That's very helpful, thanks. In real-world situtations, how hard is it to achieve the maximum 1700Mb backhaul? The reason I was planning to go wired is that I live in an old, heavily constructed house.
Depends on distance, environment and buiding materials. 5Ghz is effected by materials. If older home with thick walls or lead based painted walls, this would have some effect on wifi signals. You can try wireless backhaul and see if the Orbi works with wireless connected satellites, if they don't seem to work well, go wired with the RBS.
