RBK50 vs RBK52W

What is the difference between these two?  They both serve about 5,000 sq ft.  Are they basically the same, except that one uses wall units?  Thanks...grant

    They are just different kits where one has a RBS50 and the other has 2 RBS30 in the kit but they do cover the same amount of area. Just options for customers that have different layouts in there home

      Darren...Thanks for your reply. So, the technology behind each kit is the same (mesh), just the packaging differs?..grant

        The "technology" behind the kits are the same, but the hardware specs are obviously not the same. You can get a better idea of the differences between each kit by perusing the Orbi manual (link below) - a hardware overview for each model is near the beginning of the PDF while the tech specs are at the end.
