Orbi mesh system for whole yard

Hello!

Looking for suggestions and recomendations for replacing current Netgear Nighthawk router and extender.

Our current router and extender are 4+ years old and constantly dropping service. 

 

Do you have a recommendation for a 4,000 sf home with two outbuildings. One is close to the home but the other building is approximantely 300 ft away from the home. 

 

Thank you in advance for your recomendations!

  • For the 4000 Sq Ft home an RBK53 would give you good coverage. As for the 300 ft away building, it may be advantageous to bury a network cable. 300 ft line of site may work if you use an RBS50Y outside of each building in a line of sight.

    300feet is a bit too far.
