Orbi RBK 53 Set
I am thinking about buying this set for a home installation but want to check something out first.
Our house is on three levels separated by concrete flooring with built in floor heating elements. I intend to place the base station on the ground floor with the other two units on each of the other floors.
Will the signal from the base unit reach the other two units?
If so, will the units bea able to interreact to optimise the signal?
Many thanks in advance.

The base station will be situated on the groud floor, with one satalite on the first and one on the second floor.
Our internet at present is 50Gb / sec.
Sq footage of a house should also be considered. If your have a large house, the orbi systems are also based on how big your house is. So if you have a large sized house then two Satellites maybe needed spaced at good distances from the router however still need to be in range to maintain signel connection with the router. IF you have a small house, then maybe only one Satellite or not.
I have a 5000sq ft house two story and Orbi system is at opposite ends of the house using only 1 Satellite. Coverate, range and performance is stellar.
