Which orbi components should I use
Hello
I am looking to upgrade my house to an Orbi system. I have 3 floors each about 2500 sq feet. I understand I have to start with the RBR50 as my router. I am trying to figure out the differences between the satelite devices; between the RBS50, RBS40, and RBW30.
I am not sure I can get away with an RBK50 system or I need a third unit like the RBK43 or RBK44.
Hard to figure out which combination would work the best.
Thank you
Gabe

Just to add to my prior post, Are all 3 different orbi satellites created equal?
No. Some have ethernet ports and some don't, and the backhaul speeds differ. You're going to have to do some research to understand the differences. Look at the Netgear product website. This chart might help.
