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...

So temporarily moving my laptop into my wife's office and connecting via ethernet into the router is far more stable - only one VPN drop in 20 hr. Back to my previous question - will adding a satellite RBS20 or RBS40 and then connecting my laptop via ethernet to the new satellite make a difference? (I can't move the router and don't want to drill holes and run a 100-ft ethernet cable through the attic.) Thanks.

We can't say 100% if it'll make a difference. theoretically it should but application is different.
All we can say is buy it from somewhere with a generous return policy so if it doen't help, you can return it.
