Orbi Pro satellite doesn't go quite far enough - add another satellite or wireless AP?
My house is on a fairly large property. I installed a new Orbi Pro SRK60 router and satellite and it works quite well inside the house. I have the satellite sitting on a window sill that faces directly towards the pool house which I had hoped would get a strong enough signal to the pool house. It is almost strong enough but not quite. The signal makes it to the pool house but isn't strong enough to make it through the walls to the opposite side. Should I purchase another Orbi Pro satellite or should I purchase a wireless AP and rebroadcast the signal that way?

Hi alayman,
Welcome to our community!
I suggest you to purchase another Orbi Pro satellite rather than purchasing a wireless AP. So that it will be easier for you to synchronize it with the Orbi Pro router.
Regards,
I like that idea as well, but it would mean that the new satellite would connect to the existing satellite. I thought each satellite needed to connect to the router. Assuming the satellites can connect to each other, is there any special setup necessary or do I just do it like I did the first satellite - which was very easy by the way...
Thanks!
