Orbi AX4200 and connecting it to a router
I have a model from my internet provider and a switch which distributes the internet signal throughout my house but only to certain rooms. Do I need to connect the Orbi router directly to the modem, ...
RBS can be more than 30 feet, depending upon building materials. I have one of my RBS out at 40 feet. Others have posted 50 feet as well.
I'd check the wiring the home. Lan connections is preferred for wired connections and best performances over wireless.
Thanks I accept that answer and kind of understand it. So my house is hardwired with Cat5e and in some places i get 200mbps and some rooms only 30mbps. I was thinking of using the wired backhaul but do you agree that if were i would plug it in is only 30mbps, that i should avoid it? Basically i should ignore all of the wiring in my house? Does that make sense?
Also, it says the satellite should be no more than 30 feet from the router. So if the signal only goes 30 feet in every direction well, then wouldnt this really only cover 2700 square feet, ie, (30+30+30)=90 linear feet times 30 feet wide=2700?
Thanks and you have been very helpful.
