Which Orbi System? Totally confused!
Hi Folks,
Bare with me as my networking skills are pretty bad. I have a 2k sq ft home. Well more like 3k when you include the basement where I live. Home office is downstairs with 3 total floor...

Thank you for your reply.
So what would the difference be if I purchased an RBK30 with an extra satelite?
It seems like I would get better wifi with 2 additional Satellite being strategically placed as opposed to the one Satellite with the RBK40

If you can place all three well with out too much over lap, it would work. 30 feet to start with in between the router and each stallite.
