If I may ask, what made you decide to go with 2 satellites? I ask because we may be moving to a larger home in the near future, and I wondered if that was your rationale for having a 2nd satellite.
It was part of the package and we have a large one story on one acre with 3 car garage. So normal routers couldn't cover the whole house. The Orbi did, with the one in the far corner, and the satelite in the middle of the house which reached the garage, kitchen, master on the other side of the house fine even into the back/front yards of our 1 acre.
