AX11000 Orbi Router and Satellite Placement

I currently have a AC3000 set-up in my 2000 sqft condo with thick concrete walls. I have a router and 2 satellites. I get great coverage throughout. However, due to the recent purchase of some new devices, I'd like to upgrade to 6E. My question is, can I go with two AX11000s at about 50 ft apart, which would be down from 3 AC3000s? Seems like it should be OK. There would be no concrete walls between the two and no clear line of sight. Having said that, there are concrete walls between my current units and no direct line of site. 

 

Thanks in advance for your comments.

  • As long as there's not concrete in the mix, a RBR and just 1 RBS should work well. 

    There's been Black 9 series since they first came out.

      Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that 1 RBS and 1 RBK should do the trick. There is no black 9 in the two piece which sounds like all I need.
