RBK53 ou RBK23 + RBS50 Y
Hello, Having a budget of about 550 euros, I am looking for the best solution to increase the WiFi coverage of an associative place composed of two houses and a large courtyard. several people connect simultaneously in the courtyard and in the Houses. I only have one orange box (subscription without medium speed fiber).
it is possible to connect the two houses with a cat8 ethernet cable (70 meters apart).
At identical budget: it seems possible to buy either a KIT RBK 53 alone, EITHER a kit RBK23 + an RBS50Y (if 20 and 50 compatible ??)
so I wonder what would be the best solution between:
- the 3 RBK 50 modules and:
-The 3 RKB20 modules +1 outdoor module (RBS50Y). knowing that I cannot afford a KIT RBK53 + an RBS50Y.
I also heard a lot of recent criticism about the orbi system which would crash a lot more since some updates. do you know what it is?
thank you very much for your precious advice.
Aurelian

30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
I would LAN cable connect the two houses if possible. LAN cable can be burried.
You can try this as well between houses:
