WIFI LAN Devices
Ok I have seen reports here with people with 4+ Satellite units
While I could have one more for the garage just for the last bit of coverage on the back deck.
In the house I do have one spot that...
- A RBS50 would provide LAN ports. If that is overkill because WiFi is already good in that spot, then Google “WiFi bridge” and buy one that suits you. If you have an old router with bridge mode use that.
The RBS would provide greater aggregate throughout for LAN devices because it would connect over the Orbi backhaul. On the other hand, adding a satellite where there’s already a strong Orbi signal might cause issues with certain devices roaming between Orbis.

Thank you. Yeah I will look at a WIFI Bridge. The devices are only 10/100MB devices so not hugely important. I think I have an older Airport Extreme around somewhere that might do the job.
