Using a RT-AC68U Asus as an access point for an Orbi (RBK50)set-up?
First - I am not super techno saavy. I just want to make sure I have good coverage in a 4000sf 2 story house. I just got the RBK50. I am going to put one up stairs (all bedrooms are upstairs), and on...
Is the garage attached to the house or separate?
The orbi you have should cover the house and then some including the garage if it's attached.
The distance between the router and satellite(s) is 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
I have a 5000sq ft home with just the base router and 1 satellite at the opposite end from the router. 40 feet in between. Great coverage including in my garage.
Having additional Wireless APs can cause problems. I would go with what you have with the Orbi if possible. Placement is key.
