Orbi Starter Kit RBR50 (Router Only)

Hi, im looking for a Orbi starter kit (Router only) for my apartmet (1500 sq ft ) built whit briks walls.

 

I have a question about its solo preformance, if it isn`t working whit a satellite it means that is only a dual band AC1267 (400 + 867) router ? because the other (1733) is for back-haul. Or it can work whit all tri band alone. Or maybe i better just buy a Nightawk AC2300 ?. 

 

To consider we are 3 people: 3 smartphone, 3 laptop, 2 smarTV and a Xbox One. My conexion its 40mb ADSL  (its a lot in my country, jaja  ). Im looking for strong signal and stability. I dont like to have to restar the router all the time like happend to me whit a Tp-Link some years ago. I just want that work allways and forget that it exists.

 

Thaks for your opinon, greetings from Colombia.

    The backhaul radio is available for the backhaul only.  If you buy the router alone with no intention of buying a satellite, you would be paying for an expensive 4x4 backhaul radio that would never get used. If a single AP can provide the coverage area you need, you'd be better off with another solution.
