Hi thank for reply, my home is 7150sq feet but well built with brick walls, i didnt know about the 30 feet bit so i will also try that, my other issue is the server room has a door on in and the ORBI router is in there so that may not help,
just as a question thou do you know if i can add an extra satelite to teh system? if so i cant seem to find anywhere to buy on on its own they are all in a two or three bundle at moment

ANy chance of moving the RBR outside of the server room into a more central location on a main floor of the home.
Haven't seen anyone with more than two RBSs currently. I have two and they are working well for my 5000sq ft home.
IF you get more, please let us know how it all works. NG officially supports 3 RBS on there ORBI AC model. I presume maybe same or ORBI AX. However some users reported having 6 RBS on RBR50 series ORBI. No idea if that many would work on ORBI AX. Anything is possible.
- Richien1dadJan 30, 2020AspirantThanks you so much for helping, I’m going to have a go Saturday on moving the ORBI router out if that room to my entrance hall
I’ve also just order a two pack (one router and one sat) so I can use the sat from that pack
So I’ll let you know how that work
Once again many thanks
