Which model of Orbi should I purchase and can I still use my WN2500RP N600 WiFi Range Extender?
I currently have a Verizon FIOS router and a WN2500RP N600 WiFi Range Extender. If I purchased the RBK30, can I still use my N600 Range Extender or should I replace the N600 and get a different mod...

I have similar set up here. New addtion house with older existing house.
I would give the AC2200 RBK40 kit a try. Mines working great for me in my home. I don't think you'll need more then one Satellite. I would test with the router alone at first then see if you need to place the Satellite if needed.
Let us know what you decide to get.

What size is the house. Sq ft.
I use a AC2200 system in my 5000sq ft house with 1 Satellite. Great coverage, range and performance. 40ft disatanct between router and Satellite.
I would not use the older extender. Use the Satellite instead.

Thank you.
The house is 2500 sq. feet. The router is in an extension to the house so has to go through a former exterior wall to get to the rest of the house.
