Will this set up improve my current Wi-Fi signal?
Hi all, I'm looking for a way to improve my Wi-Fi signal, however I don't want to get rid of my current router to do this. Let me explain my set up: I currently have a Netgear X10 R9000 Route...
I was in a similar problem as yours. I only had an older EA6500 Linksys wireless router. I had a remote 5GHz hub and a EX7000 extender.
I don't think an Orbi satellite will connect to anything but an Orbi router. If you definately don't want to get rid of you router you need to get a mesh style extender like the EX7500 or EX8000. They have 1-2.4GHz and 2-5GHz radios with 1-5GHz dedicated to your router backhaul connection. This will allow 2.4 and 5GHz wireless go full speed to the extender unlike your EX7300 or my EX7000.
I am trying out the RBK44 system. I wanted 2 EX8000 and they would equal the price of the Orbi system. I usually doubled my speed both wireless and remote wired.
