What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
I have a 5000sq ft home and use just the base and 1 satellite with 40 feet in between. Have great coverage and performance.

The house is a total of 4000sqm, its not all open plan. If i did buy the 2 system package and needed another satetllite, could i buy any orbi satellite or does it have to be a specific model like my package?

It's best to keep similar model satellite to maintain same wifi speeds across the board. However you can connect different model satellites.
