Orbi 6 Mesh Network Satellite
I have an Orbi 6 mesh network with a fiber optic ISP. I want to purchase an extra satellite for placing in a dry protected spot outside. Approximately how many linear feet will that satellite reach to.

My furthest WIFI connected satellite was a 100,000 Square Ft warehouse, no obstructions, except metal beams. We installed a 3 node RBK50 system, which is not quite as powerful as the RBK7523 or 853 AX systems. The distance between the first satellite and router was over 100 feet and another 100+ feet to the second satellite, using Daisy Chaining. The furthest station had over 150Mbps wired and WIFI speed. The commercial ISP was a 300Mbps plan.
However take into consideration this was close to a perfect envirnment, with little to no interference.
BE sure to post in the Orbi AX forum for all Orbi Wifi 6 products:

Approximately how many linear feet will that satellite reach to.30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
