Router mode for RBR850 and AP for RBR50
I bought RBK850, and I would like to expand my current network. I’ll have RBR850 runs in Router mode, then will connect RBR50 in AP mode. I have 5 Sats currently connected to RBR50 ethernet backhaul...
Can you run just the 8 series system with out the 5 series being online? Yes you could use the 5 series in AP mode.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
Having too much wifi in the home can be problmatic.
I have a 5000sq ft home and run just the 8 series with 2 RBS and works well for my needs. I don't use Armor though.
Something to post about in the Orbi AC forum for help and information regarding that model:
- I have large house, 12916 Sq Ft, 4 levels.
So even RBK853 can’t cover it, concrete and steel building material.
So I still need RBR50 system for the coverage beside RBK852 I just bought.
