Orbi 6 satellite
Am I able to purchase just one ORBI 6 satellite? Bought router and one satellite and still have a dead zone in our house. Not sure why. Think one more satellite may do trick

What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

- Dhughes19AspirantIt is about 3,700. Older home, lots of halls and doors. 2 stories. I had satellite about 50 ft away but living room TV was getting weak signal. Moved satellite closer to TV and fixed that but then our room is getting weak signal. Upstairs seems to be fine regardless and I can get signal even outside.
Ok so sounds like you need another RBS then...
