Will several Orbi routers improve coverage?

Will additional routers improve coverage?  Can they be on network with one password?

 

Thanks

    routers or satellites? 

    You can add more satellites to have them integrate with your current systems.

      Thanks for your time, I was once very skilled at computer technology, but I got left behind.

      Our problem is the distances between router and satellites.  I am wondering if having a router serving the addition and a router serving the original building is the correct solution.

        What size is your home?

        What distance are you planning on?
        you can use a lot of satellites especially if you're using triband orbi.
