Intro to Orbi AC2200
Hey everyone - First post, so go easy ;) I'm converting my garage into an office next month, and wanted to sort the internet out before hand. Current set up: 17mbs broadband (upgrading to...
A few questions if I may......
I have a powerline hooked up to the PS4 upstairs....... Can I get rid of that, and have the PS4 plugged into the Orbi (which will then give a wired connection to the PS4 and a wireless AP to the upstairs)? the PS4 can definitely plug directly into the orbi satellite. Works well at my place :)
Or would it be better to plug the Orbi into the Powerline, and then the PS4 into the Orbi? Try both since you'll already have them. Usually powerline can have interference issues and the Orbi backhaul is pretty robust. With that said, wifi can have many different types of interference that could cause issues. Without being there to assess the situation.....you'll just have to try both and see which gives you the best speeds.
Anything else you think I need to look at? I think you've though of most things. Its great that you've ran a ethernet line to your "office" for the backhaul. it works great with both wired/wireless backhauls. I always prefered wired though. Hope it does what you expect it to!
Thanks in advance :)
