Orbi RBR350 + 2 satellites internet speed question
Hi! I use a RBR350 Orbi connected to 2 RBS350 satellites in my house with 2 floors. There is a big concrete wall in the middle of the house. So basically, the router and the RBR350 are downstairs, ...
Something to check into as well, maybe a powerline adapter between the RBR and the far side of the wall to get a RBS ethernet connected to the RBR.
Concrete and steel will cause problems for any wifi mesh system.

Or maybe just run an ethernet cable between the two satellites. Though that depends on whether the goal is to improve the performance in the partner's room, or whether it is just to get the best overall speeds possible.
Powerline could be part of the solution, though I've found its performance to be hit-or-miss in my home (depending on the specific circuits I am using for it). If there is an accessible pipe chase or shaft, then shifting to a wired backhaul might be possible. maxpuissant - if you do that, you do need to make sure you have the proper grade of cable. This is about fire safety, not just electrical performance. In my location, that would be "riser" cat 6a cable (which has different insulation than normal cat 6a cable).

Yeah, especially if the concrete has rebar in it (as it almost always does).

Well that could be a solution, but first, do you think I have good speed in my room?
