Planning to purchase Orbi. Have few questions
Hello, i am staying in 3 floored townhome. Currently i have Netgear R8500 AC5300 router. I have placed the router in 2nd floor. I am getting good internet speeds with 5ghz connection in my 1st, 2...
I live in a 3000+ sqft four floor house. I got the BRK53 and they work perfect. I also tried other mesh system, none of them could beat orbi.
My setup is not standard however. In stead of put the router at the center, I put it in the living room, close to one end of the house. I put one sattelite the same 2nd floor but the other end of the house. The 2nd sattlelite the center of 3rd floor.
are u getting good signal on 1st floor and 4th floor ?
do u have any router setup before orbi ?
I got full speed at every corner from 1st floor to 4th floor. It was an amazing experience to see the speed boosted even at those corner where I could hardly get a signal from my old routers.
No, the orbi router is the only one I put after my modem. I think the signal is strong enough for my case with two satellites.
Btw, my house is wood structure mainly as the others in new england area. Not sure if you are the same.
