RBK33 benefit of adding ethernet satellite RBS50
Bought RBK33 system one year ago (RBR40 router, two RBW30 satellites). Noted the satellites do not have ethernet ports. My work laptop is connected to satellite via WiFi. My VPN connection to work...
I'll try it thanks (although the router is 70 ft away).
If the performance is better (no VPN drop) when connected via ethernet direct to router, should I expect the same performance if I add RBS20 and connect to that satellite via ethernet cable?

If the performance is better (no VPN drop) when connected via ethernet direct to router, should I expect the same performance---the same performance? no. but its worth trying. You could also try moving your rbs to the midpoint and see if it helps at that point. There's several different things you can test before buying a satellite to help ensure it'd fix the issue. if I add RBS20 and connect to that satellite via ethernet cable?
thanks. would you expect performance would be better with an additional (new) RBS20 satellite connected to laptop via ethernet ... compared with current wifi connection to current satellite?
