hi,
so i assume you have got the orbi system already and have tested out with the router and sat ? and assume it still doesnt cover everything
you will need to ensure the router part of the orbi can be situated between the first and second sat as at this stage the orbi system runs in star topology and thus both sats connect back to the router only
so you have it setup like
sat ------ orbi router --------sat
with the internet connection at the router
wont work if you have say
router ----------- sat -------------- sat
as the second satstill needs to connect back to the orbi router at this stage ( may change if the orbi gets mesh )
also i have a 4,000 square home and the single orbi router and sat cover it with ease , how big is your place / or are we talking multi story

Also I just want to make a note on this thread. I have tried and purhcased over 8 Routers....including extenders, etc. Nothing even came close to how the Orbi is performing for me. It has definatley exceeeded my expectations. I have amazing speeds and coverage in areas I always had a hard time with. I am very impressed and I would definatley recommend. Below is a great write up on the Orbi and how it performed against similar prodcuts....very impressive. I acutally was going to purhcase the Amplifi HD to try but based on these results the Orbi smoked it!!!!!
