Link TWO Orbi Routers and TWO Orbi Satellites ?
20170326 - The performance of my first Orbi and Satellite is so good, I bought another Orbi and Satellite. My question is simply, can I connect the new Orbi Router and Satellite to the installed sys...
You may wish to try what I did with my two Orbi systems. I hope this works for you too.
1. Disconnect original Orbi Router ethernet cable from your internet Router
2. Disconnect original Orbi Router and Satellite from grid power
3. Connect Second Orbi Router by ethernet cable to your Internet Router
4. Complete Setup of Second Router and Satellite as per installation instructions.
5. Place original Orbi Router at one extreme end of your house and connect via ethernet cable to your internet router
6. Place original Satellte about a quarter of the width of your house from original Orbi Router
7. Place second Orbi Router at the opposite extreme end of your house and connect via ethernet cable to your internet router
8. Place second Orbi Satellite one quarter from the extreme end and from your Second Orbi router
9. Reconnect grid power, have a cup of tea or coffee, adjust positions slightly as needed.
Enjoy super connectivity all through your house and even outside.
I really think it is sad that you cannot get one router to act as satelite to another Orbi Router.
Especially when no one can buy the damn satelites as single packages :(
I have been forced to buy two packs of RPK50's for a pretty high amount of money and then I can through router number two into the trash.
netgear: Is there really not coming a software update later that can support this?
