Since the 2.0 firmware now allows daisy-chaining of the outdoor AP's, can you give an approximate linear range between 1) an AC3000 interior unit mounted at a double-pane window and an RBS50Y unit; 2) between two RBS50Y units with line-of-sight, and no vegetation interference (similar to that referenced in your promotional animation on the website). I understand there is some variability due to other ambient conditions, including temp and humidity.

Orbi systems seem to like starting at about 30 feet. Not sure how outdoor units are designed. I persume they are similar. 100-200 feet maybe too far.
