Orbi WiFi System
I would like to know if the satelite needs to be hard wired to a device to receive singal or will it just send the wifi signal with just being plugged in and wireless linked to the orbi mother router...
hi
the router must be in the middle of the two sats as the orbi currently only works in a star topology
so would have to be
sat -----------router ----------- sat
pete
So I guess one router and one satellite would be good enough for me then. No need to worry about where router goes then. But would be slot better then a nighhawk router and nighthawk extender
indeed the orbi router and sat is far better than a r7000 wifi coverage wise
I understand that there is a light and glow on top of the sat and router can that light be turned off or does it always stay on
omce started up and everything is working as it should the lights go out and only light up if omething is wrong
One last thing before i decide to purchase the product. If there ever is an outage and the power comes back on. will the orbi router and satellite connect with no issue as it did during intial setup?
