Orbi 3-pack question
So I bought the 3-pack from Costco for $499 (RBK53). My house is a single-level at 2100sq ft. Probably overkill but I thought it may be worth it for the 2nd extra satellite for only $100 more basic...

Yes sir, I did enable telnet at the link, I did some reading and it's prob a firewall issue with my router.
In any case, I did rename all of the devices so I know what is what now. After removing the 2nd satellite, I "think" its running better now. We'll see as time will tell

Hi,
I too bought the 3-pack from Costco (could not pass up the reasonable price). My home is only about 1500 ft2, and 1 level. I initially tried to use the router and both satellites. The main problem I found is that it is hard for the phone to lock onto the nearest unit for the best speed (I think in general it is already kinda a problem for for this, but worse when trying to use all 3 units). In the end I decided to have the router on one end of the home, and the satellte on the other. I will keep the 3rd unit for when I add another garage to the home, and will put it out there.

Could also try playing around with lowering the transmit power on one or both bands (2.4, 5) on the router to lower its coverage area to see it it works better with handoff with the satelitte(s).
