Satellite Placement? Should I use both that came with Router?
I got my Orbi RBK33 yesterday. It came with the Orbi Router RBR40 and 2 plug in satellite RBW30 units.I set it up and it updated its firmware from version 2.0.0.56 to firmware 2.2.1.210
My home...
I’d start with both Satellites and see if you’ll have coverage in the whole house.
Thw RBW30 Wall-plug units have smaller antennas than what’s in other Satellites, also those Satellites don’t offer much flexibility regarding the location to place them in the house since they must be plugged on a power outlet. Usually power outlets are hidden behind furniture and are located lower on the wall. This might limit the area coverage of the system.
