Orbi RB50 vs Nighthawk MK83
Hi. I’m wondering which move would be better? Trying to expand to a 3 satellite system. Options considering: Add 1 more RBS50 Satellite to my 5 ½ year old ORBI RBR50 Router and 2 RBS50 satellites...

If your system is working for you and you don't need any new wifi mode features, keep what works for you.
What is the size of the home? Sq Ft. There is a point where you can have too much wifi in the home and it doesn't work well.

Thank you FURRY. NG sales support said about the same thing. Actually, did not have much good to say about the Nighthawk. At least compared to ORBI technology. I thought being 5+ years old I’d be better off upgrading. But nope. Just like you said. I’ll order the RBS add-on. $135 w free shipping. Even better than Amazon Prime Day today. Thx again.
