Hello Japex1

 

Orbi is a star topology and you can have a router and 3 satellites. And yes this has alot more advantages than a repeater such as full wireless speed, single network SSID and seamless roaming.

      Hello Japex1

       

      Community members have had success adding more than three but it is not recommended by Netgear
