Worth Upgrading from RBR50 and RBS50 (X4) to RBR750 and RBS350 (X4) $350.00
I currently use an RBR50 with three RBS50 satellites, my internet speed is rated at 200MB usually get 215MB up and down. There are two of us that live in the house, we are not gamers. We typically do...
If the current system is working for you and it's working well, might keep it as is is.
How big is the home in Sq ft?
It's not so much home SQFT, I've added satellites for better coverage in weak areas such as garage and yard when sitting outside. I've been able to purchase RBS50 devices for $25.00 locally. I recently purchased two RBR50 V2 and a satellite for $25.00. Backup router and satellite cheap.
- I have a detached garage that has devices also. I put a satellite in garage, prior to that internet in garage wasn't very good. Now it's 200Mb+
- Added another satellite in a bedroom as signal wasn't very good for tablets or other devices, would see one or two bars and had a lot of lag, now gets 200Mb+.
- Removed a switch and put a satellite in with wired backhaul, on another end of house. Printer ETC is hard wired to that satellite.
Well when upgrading to a new system, due to differences in HW and such home size is important for placement and distances between the RBR and the RBS and not impacting the system with too much wifi signals and wifi signal over lap between the units. Why we ask about home size.
Home size is about 2000 SQFT, coverage area is about 40,000 SQFT with detached garage. Accounting for distance between garage and yard.
