Hello! I own a 6,800 sq. ft, 8 unit. Airbnb property. I have an Orbi router (RBR20) with 2 satellites (both RBS20), because the website showed me that this mesh system could cover 6,000 sq. ft. H...
Mstrbig Is this what you would recommend then?

Correct. The best solution is to stay with a more powerful Orbi system, forget the multiple SSIDs, as the expense can get costly, and add satellites as needed.
What I find interesting is that when I reached out about the best Wifi Mesh System, that would cover over 6000 sq. ft. I was told to get the RBK20.
But you are telling me that this mesh system does not provide that coverage?

The RBK23 - 1 router 2 satellites covers "up to" 6000 Sq Ft. <-fine print will show perfect conditions, no obstructions, walls, wiring, etc.
So with a multi unit building, like yours, with lots of wall, wiring, etc, the signal can get squashed.
I over compensate when installing a wireless mesh system, which is why I suggested the RBK53 system and an extra satellite.
