Nighthawk X8 + orbi?

Guys, I have a very big place and right now Im using apple airports, 4, to trying to get good wifi coverage. Im not happy.

 

I bought a nighthawk x8 but coverage is not as good as 4 airports. So now Im thinking to use Orbi. Any recomendations?

 

Thanks

    sure the orbi system should work fine as long as you can locate the orbi router in the center of the house and a sat towards each end , the orbi system is star topology and not mesh so all sats connect back to the orbi router and placement is the key
