WiFi for a "long" house - is Orbi for me?

I need to install a WiFi-system in a business level with a looong hallway (50-ish meters) with offices on both sides. The incoming Internet is in the beginning of the hallway and I need great WiFi coverage in the end.

 

I was thinking of purchasing the 3-pack Orbi and put the router at beginning, a satellite in the middle where the hallway makes a bend, and then the last satellite at the end.

 

But, as I understand it the two satellites doesn't talk to eachother, only to the router?

 

Any ideas of a solution here?

  • Short answer is no. For best solution internet has to be in center of the hall. Other solutions seems to be vellop or erros 2 or plum all those seem to be true mesh
