RBK20 Sizing
I bought the RBK20 which is one RBR20 router and RBS20 satellite. The box says it is good for 4000 sq feet. When I look at the Orbi web site it seems that the RBR20 is too small. I just installed ...
Thanks. This makes perfect sense.
I'm thinking I should have a router plus two satellites for better coverage. How significant is the difference of the RBR50/RBS50 and the RBR20/RBS20?
I'm replacing the free router from the cable company which doesn't have great coverage. My 100 Mbs service over 5Ghz works fine for the home. Just want to add coverage.
The "50" series have more ethernet ports and definitely have separate radios and antennas for the 5G backhaul radios. And, the 5G series have a higher potential speed on the 5G backhaul than the 20 series. Since radio antenna strength is regulated (in every country), the area of coverage to the user may be pretty close to the same.
A lot depends on what is available for purchase where you live. i.e. RBK53 vs. RBK23.
