RBK 853 Orbi - extending the network
is it possible to extend the RBK 853 (3 nodes) to 4 or 5 for a bigger house.
Second, is their an outdoor extension option?
Thanks,
Adnim
Have not gotten any official word on how many RBSs will be supported by NG. Orib AC users have posted having 6 RBS to 1 RBR thought NG doesn't officially support that. They mentioned for AC NG supports 4.
My house is 5000sqft and 1 RBS worked well. I have two now.
30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
No information on a RBSY AX yet for outdoors.
