Orbi RBR750, which extender/ repeater?

Hi,

I have an Orbi RBR750 mesh WiFi system, but unfortunately, I still have a dead spot in the kitchen and garden.

 

This isn’t due to the size of my house, but rather because of the concrete and steel construction.

 

I’d like to use an extender or repeater to resolve this issue.

Purchasing an additional satellite is too expensive, so could you let me know which repeaters are compatible with the Orbi mesh system?

 

Thanks for your help!

    In case of concrete and steel construction, a repeater may not help. It is better to run a cable and install another Wi-Fi point
  • The RBK753 is pretty cheap renewed on amazon. Within range of extenders/repeaters. Then you could use the satellites and have a backup router for if you ever had issues with the router (a good backup)
