ORBI RBK50 intranet speed?
Hi -
What is the maximum intranet (intra-home) speed from one RBK50 to another without an Ethernet backhaul? I would like to buy three of these, connect a master to my cable modem (and several...
You want to connect two RBRs together? I presume on in AP mode and the other in router mode? Trasfer rates should be close to or near 1Gb however again, depends on the adapters user and client PCs and how they are set up. Software like security, background running programs and CPU speed can impact how data is transfer and speeds seen. Having two of these set up like this, hard to tell. These systems are ment to run as a single unit with additional satellites. I presume the speeds will be good between them if you use the 2nd RBR in AP mode so theres not active routing involved. However having two MESH wifi signal in close proximity could be problematic.
Thanks for the ongoing dialog.
I don't know what the ideal configuration is and am open to suggestion. I'm rather new to mesh(ing), as I have simply wired my homes with Ethernet in the past but have limited options in my new condo. This is why I'm looking for, without regard to the clients, the fastest room-to-room connection without wires. I've already tried a PL1200 system and it was much slower than the specs would suggest.
Again, thanks for the help!
So you are trying to out fit this condo? How big is this place? SqFt and how many floors?
I have a Orbi system and use jusy the base and 1 satellite in a 5000sq ft home, two story. Router and satellite at at opposite ends of the home, 40 feet in between. I have great coverage and performance throughout the home.
My condo has three floors and covers about 2,200 sq. ft. I have two entertainment systems and a home office, so three rooms that I would like have something that I can attach an Ethernet cable or two for the clients in each room. Perhaps this usecase only requires one RBK50, but what satellites would I need for maximum speed?
