Hello All,
We will be moving into a new home next week. The home has three levels and aprox 4000 sq ft so I am thinking a mesh system would be benificial specifically RBK53 from Costco. We also hav...
Im using the 40 series system in a 5000sq ft home. 40 feet in between the router and 1 satellite. Stellar coverage, range and performance.
Works pretty well RBK53 in my case. Only thing agitating is that you can’t seperate the 2.4 and 5Ghz ssids.

I think what peteytesting didn’t get in that thread is there instances where this so called intelligent band steering is detrimental like when transferring files to a NAS and you get shifted to 2.4Ghz and watch the transfer time increase like 3-4 fold. This is where having separate ids works better.
