RBK763 and RBK763S - differences?
I've been looking at picking up a set second hand, however some people are selling a set of RBK763 but some are RBK763S, whereas for a new set on Amazon for example it's only listing the RBK763S. I'm...
An RBR and just 1 RBS should be enough then. Two, would recommend running the power at 50% or maybe 25%.
Thanks. Would two 760s be more than enough to cover out to the garage/edge of back garden (from the same location as the current satellite upstairs, towards the back of the house), would you say? And would the power reduction be just to stop the nodes overlapping too much? That's not something I've looked into before, but then it's not been an issue even with three relatively close nodes of the RBR/RBS20 set that I have (devices do always pick the node they're physically closest to without fail, and roaming between works well).
Try with one RBS first and have the power at 100%. Then if that doesn't work, try two RBS.
Yes, lowering the power prevents too much over lap when distances between the units are too close or placement in a small home prevents distances. RBS should not be close. 30 feet starting distances is best.
