Using Orbi AX4200 with BT FTTP
I've recently upgraded to BT FTTP and now have an Openreach ONT (Nokia version). I'm thinking of getting the Orbi AX4200 mesh system as the BT Smarthub 2 is even worse that the original Smarthub. I'm...
Thanks Furry. It's a Nokia made fibre ONT only. No router in it, just modem type function.
I'd ask the ISP to see if the RBR can replace there router after the ONT. I presume it could.
So I've ordered the RBK753 and read somewhere that during initial setup, it's better to have the satalite units in the same room as the router unit and only place them where they'll stay after they've been recogognised and linked to the base unit. Is that the case?
Yes, I prefer having the RBS near the RBR or in same room. Once they are fully synced and setup, then you can place them in there remote locations.
30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
