Be aware if you have 1.2Gb ISP services, and want to use that in your network, you'll need a Orbi 8 or 9 series system as these are the only models that have a 2.5Gb WAN port speed support. However the 9 series is the only model that also support 2.5Gb speeds on the LAN port side. The 8 series only has 1Gb LAN ports.
100feet out doors is not really support as Orbi is for mostly inside the home and partial signal coverage out side of the home, maybe 20-30 feet out side.
For that some of home, depending on building materials, the router and just 1 RBS would be needed. Two could be used if the power was reduced some on the main router.
