ORBI, How many satellites?
Scenario: I have a classroom that has up to 20 computers for students to use. The building is old and company policy dictates there will be no modifications made, including adding network cabling. ...
Orbi is not the right solution. A single classroom is a small area. Twenty computers is not many. Buy 3 to 5 APs, like the ubiquity AC-PRO or AC-HD, put each on a different 5GHz channel, and connect a few PCs to each AP. You will have many times the throughput. With Orbi all PCs would share the single 5GHz backhaul.
